A pizza delivery driver was sent toppling off his bike after he was caught on camera doing a wheelie in the middle of a busy London street.

Domino's Pizza has now launched an investigation into the incident on Clapham High Street after the footage went viral online.

In the 12-second clip the scooter rider, wearing a white helmet and biker's gear, can be seen balancing his bike on his rear wheel as he flails his legs in the air.

As he is cheered on by passers-by the vehicle appears to be precariously positioned and ready to fall.

Before he tries to re-balance his bike it tips on to its side, sending the spectators into fits of laughter.

The footage ends with the delivery man picking up the bike.

A spokeswoman for the company said: 'The safety of the public and of our colleagues is of paramount importance and this is clearly wholly unacceptable behaviour,' according to the Evening Standard.

This is not the first time a wheelie video has gone viral online.

In June shocking headcam footage emerged showing a reckless biker narrowly missing a parked car as he pulled wheelies along residential roads.

The clip showed the motorist hurtling down quiet streets in Kingstanding, Birmingham, and undertaking cars with precarious wheelies.
