UK: London police knock moped thieves to the floor in dramatic montage

Summary:
Crikey, I didn't think the British police would be allowed to do this! Young people could end up maimed for life. Lots of young people go through a bad phase. [embedded content] Montage footage released on Friday shows London Metropolitan Police knocking alleged moped thieves off their bikes as part of a new tactic to face a scooter-crime surge in the English capital. Dashcam footage shows a team of specially trained police officers making so-called "tactical contact" with alleged moped thieves to make them fall from their scooters.
