Deliveroo cyclist fights back against knife-wielding attacker who tries to steal his bike

This shocking footage shows a knife-wielding robber push a man off his bike in broad daylight before stabbing him.
Despite being chased away, the hero cyclist returned to tackle Lewis Livingstone as he tried to ride off, which was when Livingstone stabbed him with the large kitchen knife.
Brave passers-by then intervened to hold Livingstone until police arrived in Enfield, north London.
