Delivery drivers joined forces in a London street to slap down a man who 'tried to pinch' one of their bikes.

Footage shows a crowd of more than half a dozen workers encircle the alleged thief and give him a piece of their mind while still carrying their large orange rucksacks.

At one point one even takes out what appears to be a whip and deploys it on the 'culprit''s leg.

The excited cameraman shouts out and passersby scream, with one begging for the men to 'stop' as they nearly become embroiled in the carnage.

One Deliveroo driver also ends up on the floor. It comes as at least seven people are thought to have been involved in the fight which took place in Surrey Street, Croydon, south London last Thursday.
