This is the distressing moment a gang of yobs reportedly robbed a delivery man as he dropped off a takeaway in Moston.

The victim, who didn't want to be named, was dropping off a KFC order on Cicero Street on Saturday afternoon when he was set upon by around 10 youngsters.

He said members of the gang punched his back and kicked his ankles after their accomplice stole his phone.

His bike was then stolen after he jumped off it and ran after them during the robbery, which happened at about 3pm.

The 31-year-old said he has been left 'shaken' by the incident and wants to warn others.

He said: "I was totally shaken up. I couldn't sleep last night to be honest.

"It's the first time I have found myself in this situation. When I first arrived there at the address, it was like a ghost town. In my gut I felt I shouldn't have delivered it. I don't know why I carried on delivering it."

Video footage taken on the victim's head camera shows the gang, with their hoods up, approach the victim and ask for food while he delivers the takeaway.

They then grab his bike and chase after him as he tries to get away.

He shouts 'someone help' as the one of the gang members steals his phone, which is clipped onto his bike.

He says at this point, he is kicked and punched from behind as he cycles after the thief.

The victim is heard yelling 'someone help me' 'oh my god, oh my god', from the top of his lungs as he chases after the gang.

He gets off his bike and considers chasing the gang down an alley, before deciding against it.

It's at this point, he says, that his bike is stolen off camera.

"I stopped and realised that if I continued chasing after them and went towards the alleyway, then they might have jumped me. I was thinking of my family, my life is more important than my phone," he said.

The victim said he went back to the address where he delivered the KFC order following the ordeal, and the customer gave him her phone to call police.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were called to a report of a robber on a food courier on Cicero Street at 3pm on Saturday.
