Local Fiona Webb hailed the brave folk who got involved.

She said: “Love this.”

Ivan applauded them for stepping into help.

“Lets f*cking go people,” he said.

One claimed: “Where are the lazy police?

It comes following a spate of street robberies across the capital.

There has been a particular rise and crackdown on crooks using e-bikes to steal mobile phones from pedestrians.

But this is the latest example of bystanders having had enough and acting.

It comes after a suspected watch thief was caught by the brave victim and a passerby in posh Margaret Street between Marylebone and Fitzrovia in central London.
