Four teens, one armed with a two-by-four, beat a 54-year-old man on the Monon Trail because they wanted to steal his bicycle, Indianapolis police said Monday.

“This was an ambush,” Detective James Quigley said. “They were waiting for the right victim, and Mr. (Darrell) Arthur, unfortunately, was that victim.”
