A cyclist was robbed of his iPhone and wallet as he lay unconscious on a street in south-east London.

The 28-year-old was knocked off his bike in Nigel Road, Peckham, at around 2.15am on Tuesday before his possessions were taken.

Police say they are looking for a number of suspects, who may have posed as Good Samaritans at the scene, and have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

‘The 28-year-old victim fell from his bicycle on Nigel Road, junction with Rye Lane, SE15,’ said a Scotland Yard spokesman.

‘While lying unconscious, an unknown number of suspects stole his iPhone, wallet and cigarettes.



‘The victim was taken by London Ambulance Service to a south London hospital where he remains in a critical condition.’

In 2011, a Malaysian student was robbed by two men posing as Good Samaritans in east London after his jaw was broken in an unprovoked attack.

Anyone who witnessed the robbery is asked to contact officers in Southwark via 101.
