At about 10:15 p.m. on Sunday, police said a man was attacked in the area of 100th Street and 102nd Avenue.

Police said the man was pepper-sprayed and robbed of his wallet by five men on bicycles.

The man was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the first suspect to approach the man was riding a bike with a white frame. He was wearing a black baseball hat, a black mask, a black hoodie and black pants with white stripes down the sides.

The other four men were also wearing dark clothing. Police said all five men left the area on their bikes in a northeast direction.

Police do not believe the victim knew the five suspects.
