POLICE have released this picture of a man suspected of robbing a motorcyclist as he lay badly injured in the road after a crash.

Former RAF pilot Craig Stevens, 51, was bleeding heavily from a serious leg injury when a ‘fake good Samaritan’ stole £40 in cash while pretending to administer first aid.

The suspect was caught on a cyclist’s head camera as he approached the scene.

Stevens, from Bexhill-On-Sea in East Sussex, was on his way to take part in a charity ride with the Royal British Legion when his Triumph Bonneville collided with a silver Audi outside a supermarket in Hayes, west London, last month.

He also suffered a broken arm and had to undergo two operations and a skin graft at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.

The Met’s Pc Raj Patara said: ‘We appeal to anyone who may know the identity of this man who robbed a badly injured victim while he was in a state of shock and bleeding heavily. Do you recognise him?

‘We know that a small crowd gathered at the scene and further witness mobile phone recordings may have been taken. We are keen to trace any new pieces of evidence. Were you there? Did you take a recording?'

The suspect is described as a light-skinned, slim, black man in his 30s. He was wearing a baseball cap backwards, tan coloured shorts and an orange patterned shirt, and had a strong West Indian accent.

Anyone with information can call police on 020 8246 1486 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
