The victim, 18, was standing next to his bicycle outside a Chinese restaurant, located at 135-45 Roosevelt Ave., when a man started talking to him at around 2 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5.

While the victim was distracted, a second man came up behind him and slashed him across the right side of his face with an unknown sharp object.
