Fleeing Segway board thief sent flying by have-a-go hero

The dramatic moment a have-a-go-hero stepped in to trip up a man sprinting down a street carrying a Segway board that had apparently been stolen seconds earlier was captured on video.
The man, who appears to be with a young child, was walking up the street in south London, when he spotted the man fleeing around a corner clutching the device.
He immediately stretched out a foot to trip him up and then pushed him to the ground. After tumbling and shouting the would-be thief dropped the Segway and fled whilst another man, who appears to be the original owner, picked it up.

The footage was captured by motorcyclist László Csőke on his ride through Grange Road, Bermondsey. A fortnight ago police released a statement confirming Segway boards, the hands free version of the scooters, were illegal to ride under 180-year-old legislation.
