The 31-second clip, filmed on Crosslands Avenue, captured the unsettling moment in an area known for its affluent homes, where the average house price is £1.3 million.
The incident occurred at 2:50 pm on Saturday (5 Oct), as first reported by VKNews24.. The man who was hit was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Locals reacted with surprise, with one resident, Sean, remarking: “What in the GTA?”—a reference to the chaotic video game Grand Theft Auto.
Another, Suzy Farrier, jokingly added, “I heard the driver was authorized to chase the motorcyclist since the Met was busy escorting Taylor Swift. Limited resources and priorities, you know.”
Another bystander, Rari, commented, “If the police can’t catch bikes, what made you think you could? And that bike looks like it’s at least 600cc.”
London Ambulance Service responded quickly, with a spokesperson confirming they were called at 3:47 pm and sent an ambulance crew to the scene.
The injured man was treated and transported to a nearby hospital, where his injuries were confirmed to be non-life-threatening.
The Metropolitan Police also issued a statement, acknowledging the viral video circulating on social media.
Officers arrived shortly after the incident at 3:49 pm and confirmed that investigations are ongoing to track down the motorcyclist involved, who fled the scene without stopping.
Police urge any witnesses or individuals with information to contact them on 101 or via X (formerly Twitter) @MetCC, quoting reference 4434/5OCT.
