Met Police officers have been mocked online after a 'sweet thief' managed to take on two of them at once and get away despite being barefoot.

Videos show the officers getting into a brawl with the enraged 26-year-old woman in Willesden, north west London, on Friday afternoon.

'Britain's finest responding to theft of penny sweets from local newsagent, making hard work of bringing down perpetrator,' one social media user captioned the video.

In a shocking attack, the woman grabs one Met Police officer by her hair as the cop tried to arrest her following reports she had assaulted two men and a woman.

While the suspected thief swings the policewoman around by her ponytail, her colleague unsuccessfully attempts to pull her off before the woman makes off down the road.  Police later caught up with her, with two more officers needed to perform the arrest.
