Tom is said to have tackled one of the men down to the floor and reportedly grabbed him by the scruff of the neck as he checked to see if they had any concealed weapons.
“It was mental – like he’d switched to superhero mode in an action movie,” a witness told The Sun.
He continued: “Two boys on the nicked moped had jumped a red light and smashed into a car.
“Tom must have been walking down the road. He went off like a shot in pursuit and looked furious. If the kid had been dumb enough to resist I reckon Tom would have given him a good hiding.”
