Got Bikejacked - Stamford Hill - Recovered

[TheArchitect]

TL;DR for now, full details to follow.

Edit: occurred Monday 16th at 6.30PM

Sitting at lights at Stamford Hill junction (the big one with Sainsbury's on the corner.
3 or 4 scooters surround me, yoots jump off and a tussle ensues.
Two grab me from behind while another goes for my keys.
Knives present.
Initial fight instinct turns to "feck it not worth getting stabbed for a bike".
They make off with bike.
Rang police who sent armed response and chopper which happened to be overhead.
Rang BikeTrac who were simply flawless in their actions.
Jumped into police car and gave chase.
Directed police while yoots were circling the area. Could see them on the tracker the whole time.
Eventually they parked (hid) the bike in an estate in Tottenham.
BikeTrac lead us to the bike. No damage.
Bike now locked up in my brother's garage. Not to be used for the foreseeable future.

Damage to bike: None - but for some reason they changed the brake/clutch lever positions.
Damage to me: couple bruises on my back and utter shock.

Long version to come soon with helmet cam footage.

good thing you're ok - not worth the risk thinking fuck it they wont stab me

defo put the bike away for a bit - youll have recurring images next time you go out on the bike, it will take a while to get over them

Yeah, I remember seeing them on tv and on youtube. I get that it's promotional material, but they obviously make an effort to find the stolen items. Often more than the police.

I saw that posted on FB, good job on not getting deaded 👍

Biketrac have an app now so its even easier to contact them if your bike gets nicked.

Well done for reacting in what is probably the best way. I guess that instinct could take over and stabbies could happen.

Were the keys still with the bike?

[fatjames]

Hey, glad you're alive and the bike is back with you.
You did the right thing to not put up a fight, no bike is worth being stabbed for (esp as you have a tracker fitted!)

Not too sure you could have prevented this without ignoring traffic lights and not stopping in that there London.
