Al-Matin Mohamed was struck by a vehicle trying to evade police while he was riding his bike Saturday.

A 28-year-old bicyclist was clinging to life Saturday, after a callous driver, fleeing cops following a violent robbery, cut him down on a midtown street.

Al-Matin Mohamed — who recently moved to the city to train as a pastry chef — was riding in a bike lane on E. 29th St. when a tan 2004 Infiniti came speeding toward him from the wrong way about 6:30 a.m., sources said.

The car plowed into Mohamed, tossing him across the street and onto the sidewalk. The driver peeled away but crashed into a building at Lexington Ave., where he hopped out of the car and ran away, cops said.

“His feet were on the sidewalk. The rest of his body was on the street,” said Cecilia Cargill, 36, who ran to help when she saw Mohamed’s bloodied body sprawled on the ground.

“He was fighting, fighting, fighting,” Cargill recalled. “At first he was unconscious, but then he opened his eyes. I told him not to give up. . . . He was dying. I started praying.”

Cargill, a hotel manager, said she tried to calm the critically injured man.

“He looked into my eyes as I was praying for him. It looked like he was saying, ‘I’m dying, pray for me,’ ” she said.

Emergency workers took Mohamed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was being treated for head trauma, two broken legs, a fractured pelvis and a busted arm.

Police say the chaos erupted moments earlier when the crazed driver and a pal mugged a 27-year-old man outside Penn Station.

 

The bandits swiped a black backpack and a watch off the victim when two MTA cops ran over, sources said.

One thief ran to the Infiniti parked nearby. When the officers approached, the driver hit the gas and ran over one cop’s foot, sources said. The driver sped down W. 34th St. and turned right on Sixth Ave. — where he drove against traffic for five blocks before he turned the wrong way down W. 29th St.

He mowed Mohamed down on the street before he finally crashed the car.

Investigators went to the Queens home of the car’s owner, whose son suddenly disappeared from the house when cops knocked, sources said. No arrests had been made as of late Saturday.

Mohamed, a Singapore native, was working a one-month stint with pastry chefs at Le Bernardin on W. 51st St. He had recently transferred from a similar apprenticeship at a restaurant in Australia.

“He was a nice kid, a real nice guy,” said Aaron Phillips, who works in the eatery’s savory department. “It’s really horrible.”
