A shocking incident occurred in north London on Saturday afternoon when a Deliveroo rider was stabbed as he was trying to stop a thief from stealing his bike.
Multiple bystanders rushed to help the rider, who is believed to be in his 20s, and several of them provided first aid. The cyclist was taken to hospital and his injury is not life-threatening.
In response to the incident, a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. Footage of the incident has been circulating on social media, which shows a man in a Deliveroo jacket lying on the ground with the company’s signature blue box next to him.
Another man was seen being held down by security while another person in a white shirt and black trousers was seen holding a knife as he walked through the crowd. Witnesses have said the victim was attacked while trying to protect his bike but the Metropolitan Police have yet to confirm this.
The police have issued a statement saying that officers arrived at the scene to find a large crowd providing first aid to the victim and that a 19-year-old man was arrested. They also said that the victim was taken to a hospital and a crime scene has been established.
Deliveroo have responded to the incident, saying it ‘has no place in our communities’ and that they ‘strongly condemn any attacks or violence against Deliveroo riders, or anyone simply trying to work’. They are currently investigating the incident and will be providing support to the police in any way they can.
