This is the horrific moment a Deliveroo rider was savagely beaten up by a gang rival of delivery drivers.
The gang assault
Fahad Aman was set upon by up to a dozen riders wearing crash helmets to conceal their identities outside the McDonald’s restaurant in Tooting, south London, shortly before 5pm on a Saturday evening.
The 23-year-old was punched repeatedly in the face and kicked in the head when he was lying on the ground, leaving him cut and bruised. They also stole his iPhone.
Asking for HELP
His brother Faisal called 999 when terrified Fahad asked for help and captured the thugs fleeing the scene on his mobile phone, before police arrived and interviewed Mr Aman.
Faisal, a taxi driver, 37, also obtained CCTV footage of the frightening attack from a nearby restaurant and gave it to officers investigating the attack.
But the Met Police later told Mr Aman that there wasn’t a realistic possibility to secure a conviction because they couldn’t identify the attackers from the CCTV, which was taken from too far away.
To Mr Aman’s irritation and anger, police dropped the case due to a ‘lack of evidence’.
