Long story short, the British Police has surfaced the picture of a man suspected to have ribbed a fallen motorcyclist, who suffered limb fractures and was also heavily bleeding.
The man is suspected of having approached Former RAF pilot Craig Stevens, 51, faking his intentions to help, and reportedly stole £40 in (€50 or $70) in cash while pretending to provide the first aid. Stevens was riding his Triumph Bonneville in Hayes, west London, when he collided with a silver Audi near a Lidl supermarket. The former pilot was riding his motorbike to meet the Royal British Legion for a charity ride, and suffered a serious leg injury and a broken arm. He was admitted into the St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington where he undergone two surgeries and a skin graft.

Police constable Raj Patara says the “51-year-old male motorcyclist was laying on the road heavily bleeding when the man caught on camera rushed in to help with first aid. Once police arrived at the scene the man left immediately. Shortly afterwards the injured man realised that his money -£40 in cash that had been in his pocket - had been stolen,” visordown reports.
