Two masked thugs were seen riding off on bikes after an attempted mobile phone snatch in Stamford Hill.
The duo targeted the victim in Linthorpe Road at about 2.45pm yesterday.
Volunteers from the Jewish neighbourhood watch service Shomrim witnessed the incident and took a photograph of these two men.
The Shomrim then called the police who are now looking into the attempted theft.
