Shocked passersby and customers in a Starbucks watched on in horror.

The e-bike and one of the thiefs ended up in the road as the other offender continued to ride off on the moped.

A bystander in the coffee shop captured her heroics on their mobile phone.

The incident happened on Tuesday on Shenley Road in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

It was just a stone's throw from the Elstree TV studios.

As reported on NeedToKnow, local Steve Blackman said: “Fair play to the lady having a go back.

“But I can't understand there's nobody helping and of course caught on camera taking the documentary of it all instead of helping?

“I know it's a bit daunting to get involved with something like this.

“But that's someone's family member and trust me the little sod needs more than being dragged off that bike and I say that in a non-violent manner.”

Ben Hunt added: “Good for her, shame people not helping her out.”

Mohammed Abdul Aziz said: “Wow the happiness I felt seeing that lowlife hit the floor.”

Another - called Gareth - added: “Love that. “Good on her.”

One fumed: “Everyone just sitting back, sitting their overpriced coffee, doing f*** all.”
