A woman standing in the driveway of a home on Peachtree Road was approached by a man on a bicycle who displayed a handgun and took her purse off her shoulder Sunday morning, said Sgt. Christopher Black. At around 9:30 a.m., the man, described as black in his early 20s, asked the woman a question before removing her purse; he then rode away toward Parker Avenue, Black said. The woman was not injured.
