A delivery driver got swift revenge after his motorbike was allegedly stolen - by tracking down the suspect and beating him with a metal pole.

Graphic footage of the driver and his pals catching up with the alleged thief shows the man begging them to stop as they inflict a beating.

One of the attackers shouts: "You're scum. Dead, dead, dead. You motherf***er, f*** you."

The suspect is then pinned down by his neck by one man as another slams a metal pole down on his leg.

It is believed the man whose bike was taken worked for Deliveroo. He quickly alerted other riders via WhatsApp to say his vehicle had been taken, The Sun reports.

Using a tracker on the moped, they found the bike in North London at around 1am on Saturday, July 8, before attacking the man they thought was reponsible.

It is not clear if the man was left with any injuries, but the moped was returned to its owner.

The footage was uploaded by website Biker & Bike who said they had been sent the video numerous times and decided to share the footage.

A Deliveroo spokesman said: "We do not condone any sort of violence. Criminals must face the full force of the law, but riders should not take the law into their own hands.



"We have encouraged riders to report incidents of bike crime to the police and to contact Deliveroo so we can gather data on crime trends and identify areas where riders don’t feel safe.



"Rider safety is our top priority, and we will continue to work with the police to protect scooter riders from being targeted by criminals."
