Brazen thieves threatened a bystander with a hammer when he tried to stop them stealing a motorbike. The threat was made as the offenders took Mark Powell's bike outside his Manchester city centre office on Monday (February 20).
Mark, who works in Canada House on Chepstow Street, watched in horror from his office as the scene unfolded on the street below. In footage shared with the M.E.N. he can be heard shouting an expletive before screaming 'that's my bike' after the thieves.
Mark said his Yamaha was stolen on the first day he'd ridden to work for months.
