The pair were then seen walking over Westminster Bridge onto Princess Road with the electric bike after the robbery on Percival Road at 5pm. Detectives are now appealing for anyone who may have seen the two men with the bike or who may have any information in relation to the assault to come forward.
Detective Constable Yasmin Walch said: “The victim was left scared and frightened by what happened and we’re appealing for anyone who has information to get in touch. At the time the robbery occurred it would have been busy with cars driving past and people walking in the area.
“I therefore want to encourage anyone who may have witnessed the men or the attack and have information which could assist with our investigation to contact us.”
