The pair appear to talk momentarily before the man is attacked.

A man aged 92 was knocked to the ground in a “sickening” assault by a mugger for just £5.

The pensioner, a “fiercely independent” widower who lives alone, was attacked in the lobby of a tower block in Soho as he returned from a shopping trip.

He was waiting for a lift with a newspaper and small shopping trolley when the suspect approached.

The attacker, a black male in his 20s, reached into the man’s pocket, slammed him against a door and pushed him to the floor. He stole his wallet containing £5 and fled.

Today the pensioner defiantly spoke of his determination to carry on as normal and said he would not put him off going out alone.
