A dangerous thief, who stole a moped to grab phones out of people's hands, nearly killed his pillion passenger, when he crashed head-on into a car.
Harry Wright stole a Piaggio moped and targeted morning rush hour commuters by swerving onto a pavement.
CCTV footage shows Wright narrowly missing several pedestrians while riding on the path.
He then went the wrong way down a one-way street and into the path of on coming vehicles and nearly hit a van in an attempt to target another victim.
After committing three snatches around Islington, north London, he made a final unsuccessful theft on Kingsland Road.
Moments later, after re-joining the road, the moped crashed head-on into the front of a BMW at around 9.50am on Monday, November 13 last year.
