This is the shocking moment two moped-riding thugs try to rob a biker on a busy ring road – before a car goes slamming into the back of them foiling their plan.

The attempted robbery is believed to have happened on the North Circular Road in Barnet, north London, and was captured on the biker’s helmet camera.

The video shows one of the masked men get off the moped at traffic lights and approach the rider.

But after he fails to take control of the bike he jumps back on the moped – only to be sent flying by the silver car crashing into them from behind.

The video of the ordeal was posted on the UK Theft Motorcycle Protest Facebook group, which aims to raise awareness of bike crime.

The capital has been plagued by moped-related crime, with masked youngsters terrorising unsuspecting victims across the city.

Last week terrified mother Nicola Scott was chased through the streets of Romford, Essex by two moped-riding thugs who ended up smashing her car window in with a hammer. 

Mother-of-two Lynne Tanswell managed to escape a similar incident happening in Walthamstow, north east London, when she banged on the window a nearby van who drove her to safety. 

The video was shared on The UK Motorcyle Theft Protest Facebook page and has racked up over half a million views
