This seems to have happened in a prosperous area of the city. Is nowhere there safe?
Sorry, I can't do links.

to answer the question - it's odd, there are lots of people working in the City and arriving via Liverpool St station, but not many live there except on the Barbican estate. However, perhaps they hoped to be invisible among the rush-hour crowds.
From Sky:

I saw some guys running past my shop and shouting 'Oi oi oi,'" he said. "After a few minutes I saw a fight break out over there (at the scene) and people running away.

Yet from Jno’s link:

Four people were treated at the scene, where witnesses told of seeing men on the ground with bloodied faces. One theory was that someone trying to take a bike had been challenged.

Too early to speculate yet though.

//This seems to have happened in a prosperous area of the city. Is nowhere there safe?//

Doesn't it make sense to go robbing in a prosperous area rather than a poor one?
'Too early to speculate yet though.'

PMSL.

I suspect most street robberies happen in poor areas and are committed by poor on poor.

About whether they were bike riders or on foot, in light of the contrasting reports.

Or are stabbings a source of amusement to you, hence the acronym?
Oh dear Zaccy, you do realise I’ve listed links to factual news stories or events, even adding a question mark on two of them?

Put the packet of straws down, they’re all gone and you’re looking silly…again.
Please don’t laugh at people being stabbed in a robbery though, nothing funny about it in the slightest.

Zacs-Master will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe his amusement was derived from the statement 'too early to speculate'.

If you have a look back at the past few months on the AnswerBank, you'll see that for many news stories, it's NEVER too early to speculate.

All 'part and parcel', London has fallen with other Cities to follow shortly.

Until the law is made that carry a knife (unlawfully, so no not cooks going to work) get 5 years minimum, use it 10 years minimum and kill someone real whole of life never get out, this will continue.

It is without doubt the result of liberal Policing, an ultra liberal Judiciary and successive Governments over the last 10 years failing to get a grip.

Plus Stop and search needs to be done as much as possible, with profiling, not stopping old Grannies just to prove you are being 'eve handed'.

Nah, it was the perpetual dig, hence his subsequent post, with all the added links.
Mine were not ‘ongoing live incidents of a criminal nature still in progress’. ToraToraTora has fallen into that wild speculation far too frequently.
Shame Zaccy couldn’t quantify nor confirm that himself though?

It just amused me that the bloke with a searchable history of speculation made that comment. I don't know what difference the subject matter makes tbh.
Question Author
The man being handcuffed in the Twitter clip looks a bit too old to be doing street robberies.
I imagine such thieves to have a lean and hungry look.
Nah, scum are all ages, races and creeds.

Be a lot easier for the Old Bill if they all wore a mask with strippy shirts and a bag marked swag though :-)
//I imagine such thieves to have a lean and hungry look.//

Bit thinist that! Fat blokes are innocent!
Fatties would be a liability in a bike gang. They'd only be able to escape downhill.

…..except for the ones of a criminal nature deemed ‘live and ongoing’, as already stated.
Why not comment on the story instead?
