E-bike thieves brazenly ripped a phone from a man’s hand on a busy street corner in one of London’s poshest neighbourhoods.
The stunned pedestrian chased after them in Knightsbridge, west London but was forced to give up when the thieves zoomed off.
The two riders targeted the man who was carrying a white bag and casually standing by the kerb with a woman.
It appeared as if he was about to cross the road when the main culprit, clad in black, snatched the phone from his hand.
The phone snatch was filmed on February 14.
One local said: ‘They need to up the sentences for this. Absolutely disgusting.’
Another commented: ‘Get a wrist strap case and keep your phone in your pocket in London as much as possible.’
One added: ‘Literally need to kick them off from these electric bikes towards a running vehicle.
‘Otherwise they won’t learn a lesson and will keep stealing stuff from the general public.’
And another said: ‘Keep your phone in your pocket.
‘Standing at the side of the road waving it about is not going to end well.
‘London is full of vermin.’
The Met Police have been approached for comment.
