A video shared widely on social media shows the shocking moment two masked men target a “pensioner” in an “robbery” while he was sitting at a pub garden in Bromley.

The incident happened at the George pub in Hayes Street near Georgian Close at around 2.40pm on September 17.

The footage, which was posted on X (formally known as Twitter), starts by showing a model Audi car gradually slow down on George Lane.

The pair then appear out of the car, leaving the vehicle in the middle of the road with its doors wide open.

It continues to show the men jump over the pub garden wall and make their way to the man in a hurry.

It can be seen that the man sitting down tries to resist as the pair pull on him for around 30 seconds.

It is claimed on the caption of the video that a Rolex watch and a phone is stolen from the man - but this has not been confirmed.

Police confirm they are investigating the incident and ask that anyone who recognises the pair to call 101 and quote reference 3643/18Ssep.
