A have-a-go hero was beaten and robbed after he confronted a gang of muggers who were attacking a man in Kilburn.

The 50-year-old victim suffered a broken jaw and lacerations to his nose and lip after he was punched to the floor by the violent mob in Kimberley Road.

Minutes before he had confronted the gang after witnessing them robbing a 24-year-old man in Willesden Lane, on Sunday at 3am.

The gang stole the first man’s mobile phone and their second victim’s wallet.
