Actor Tom Hardy helped to apprehend a man who had allegedly stolen a motorbike in London, police have said.

The Hollywood star stepped in after two teenagers on the bike crashed into a car in Richmond, south-west London, on Sunday afternoon.

They ran off before one was grabbed by the Mad Max and Taboo star and the other was arrested by a police officer.

Two 16-year-olds have been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, police said.


Witness Arun Pullen told The Sun newspaper: "Tom must have been walking down the road.

"He went off like a shot in pursuit and looked furious.

"I asked Tom what happened and he told me he chased him through my back garden and caught him around the block - but the route was like an assault course."
