A motoryclist was robbed of his vehicle by four masked men - while he was riding it.

South Yorkshire Police said the incident happened on Loxley Road in Sheffield on 30 October, when the victim was approached by a group allegedly armed with a knife.

Officers said the group, who were on dirt bikes and suspected to be aged between 16 and 25, stole the motorcycle and then fled the scene, although the vehicle was later recovered.

Anyone with information about the incident has been asked to come forward.
