(Image: X / @CrimeLdn) A shocking clip allegedly shows a man trying to steal a bag from an elderly woman outside a posh hotel in central London before being chased away by brave members of the public.

The video , posted on the X account London & UK Street News, shows a man briskly walking up alongside the woman before a tussle ensues over what appears to be a bag in her hand. Two women with her can be seen attempting to help, before a man in a suit is shown rushing in out of nowhere, getting the other man in a chokehold from behind and dragging him away. The alleged chancer then scrambles down the street, knocking over a rope barrier as he disappears out of view.
