I have heard of things like happening once or twice before, but they've always been rare. So lucky she wasn't hurt worse. I just hope it doesn't start a trend. I wonder if this is easier to do to someone on a folder (or, perhaps, a step-through frame) rather than a full-size bike, and a lack of foot retention is probably required, too.

My colleague got her Brompton nicked while she was riding it. Gray's Inn Road, 8am Wednesday morning, 3 scooters surround her, guy on pillion grabs the bars, she falls off and they accelerate off with the bike. Luckily she only had a few scrapes, no serious injury. Pretty scary & shocking though. Be careful out there.
