Two more people have come forward with information about a "Bromley Batman", claiming they have seen a vigilante in action in recent months – after the Standard told how a mystery man saved a City worker from a mugging.

The Standard revealed yesterday how a masked vigilante swooped into action on Monday night in Bromley town centre, saving a middle-aged businessman from a group of thugs trying to rob him at knifepoint.

Now two more people have come forward purporting to have seen the mystery hero in action - one in nearby Penge and another in Lewisham a few miles away.

The accounts have a number of similarities - including one detail the Standard chose not to publish yesterday.

The first witness, who has asked not to be named so she does not worry her family, said she was mugged by a young man with a shaven head near Lewisham DLR station about four months ago.

The 6ft mugger, who "didn't speak but made an angry growling sound", tried to grab her bag.

"As he pulled my bag away from me it was a horrible emotion of feeling sick to the stomach," she said. "The force behind it was actually painful."

As the woman's assailant made to run off, a tall man with a covered face but a visible beard appeared out of the darkness and tripped him up, grabbing the stolen handbag as he did so.

The victim believed her rescuer - who had a large, "well-groomed" beard was in his early 30s. He spoke with a deep voice.

"He gave me back my bag, and told me something along the lines of: 'Make sure this doesn't happen again'," she said.

"If I could give him a kiss to say thanks, I would be a happy girl."

Hints the mystery hero may be trained in martial arts have also emerged, with a man from nearby Penge alleging he saw the "Bromley Batman" putting someone into a "ninja lock".

"One night, a couple of weeks ago, I was walking home after a night out with mates," he told the Standard.

"A couple of drunk geezers were punching and kicking some other geezer. From what I overheard, it was about cash being owed.

"A tall geezer came running in wearing all black, with his face covered up as well.

"He grabbed one of them, attacking him, and put some kind of ninja lock on him. He pushed him while twisting this geezer's arm into the other fella.

"The geezer getting beaten up ran like a nutter, and with both the fellas on the floor the masked geezer scarpered quickly away himself."

He added: "My mates all called me a nutter when I told them, but I know it happened."

Police today told the Standard they had received no reports of a vigilante fighting crime on the streets of south London.
