A bicyclist is wanted by the NYPD for leaving the scene of a violent collision that left a pedestrian dead in Manhattan earlier this month.

Gavin Lee, 44, was crossing 8th Avenue on West 22nd Street in Chelsea when he was hit by a male bicyclist around 7 p.m. on Aug. 11, throwing both of them to the ground, police said Tuesday.

Following the crash, the bicyclist got back on his ride and pedaled north on 8th Avenue, cops said.
