Police are searching for two men they say tried to rob a man in Oceanside.

The incident happened early Sunday morning.  Detectives say a 44-year-old man was walking his e-bike in front of 7-Eleven on Atlantic Avenue when two men caught up to him and demanded the bike.

The victim refused and the two men started punching him repeatedly, causing him to fall, officials say.

The two sped off without the bike.

News 12 has been told the victim had a massive cut on his leg and abrasions to his knees and hands.  His phone was damaged too.  The man was taken to the hospital and no arrests have been made.
