Police search for suspect after bike theft at knifepoint in Homerton

Police are searching for a man who allegedly stole a bicycle with a knife in east London.

A man threatened two other men with a knife before stealing the bicycle.

Officers were on site, but both the suspect and the two victims had left the scene.

No arrests were made and investigations are ongoing.
