This is the moment a pensioner bravely fought back against a pair of alleged pickpockets who tried to steal his phone.

CCTV footage shows members of the public waiting at a London bus station.

An elderly man is seen minding his own business at the stop on High Street, East Ham, as a pair of men circle, eyeing up their target.

Both of the alleged pickpockets stand behind the elderly man and whisper to each other.

Then one man wearing a 'Brooklyn' jacket stands in front of the pensioner, seemingly as a distraction.
