FORMER England cricket star Kevin Pietersen has today shared horror CCTV footage of thugs attacking an elderly man in broad daylight – with Piers Morgan branding them “scum”.

Distressing images show two men approach the innocent man in Chelsea, West London, at around 8pm last night before pinning him to the ground.

Pietersen tweeted: “Burton Court in Chelsea last night at 8pm. These thugs need locking up! Disgraceful!!!!!”

Morgan then replied: “Absolutely disgusting. If you know who these scum are, contact @metpoliceuk ASAP.”

In the footage, one of the men can be seen putting his arm on the victim’s left shoulder before he instantly turns round in shock.

In just a matter of seconds a second man joins in to help wrestle the man to the ground in shocking scenes which left many of the pair’s combined 12million Twitter followers furious.

They can be seen tussling with the man on the ground for around 15 seconds before sprinting off in the same direction they came from.

Visibly dazed, the elderly man manages to get back to his feet and bravely chases after the pair.

It is not clear whether they stole anything from the man.

The Sun Online has contacted the Met Police for comment.
