The 41-year-old victim had used the small, attachable GPS to find the motorcycle at a deli on Knickerbocker Avenue near Jefferson Street on July 14, officials said.

He confronted two males who were with his bike and took it back from them, but they returned a short while later to beat him up, according to authorities.

They punched and kicked him, breaking his nose in the process, and stole his bike a second time, police said.

Police are still searching for the suspects, and an investigation into the robberies and the beating is ongoing.
