A witness told the Daily Mail :

“The moped thieves were at the hotel this morning and staff told them to get off the pavement. When Abdullah left in the Bugatti they started following him all the way to Hyde Park Corner. One beeped their horn which I assume was the signal to start attacking.

“I assume they were waiting for a junction they knew would have a long red light so they had time to attack them.”

London’s Metropolitan Police said the attack could be connected to a second robbery in the area, in which a man was assaulted and had his watch stolen.

In a statement, the Met said:
