A London couple in luxury flats walked over a Deliveroo rider, who had collapsed on the. floor while taking them their Thai dinner, to complain about a missing item in their order
The appalling incident took place in Alie Street in Aldgate, in the City of London, at about 10.30pm on Thursday.
The delivery rider, identified only as Mohamed, collapsed in the foyer of a block of luxury flats while delivering Thai food to a couple. Several people rushed to his aid and called an ambulance, while his rider app kept sending him messages, which may have been from the people he was delivering to. They came down and took their food and went back to their room while passers-by continued to tend to Mohamed and made contact with his family.One of those people happened to be James Farrar, general secretary of the app drivers and couriers union.Mr Farrar later told LBC: "They came back, and said something wasn’t right [with the order].
"We said 'look, do you see him there?' They said 'Oh, yeah, yeah yeah', and left him, and went back up to their place."They were trying to push a point, but clearly it was completely inappropriate for them to be making that point.At the same time, Mr Farrar and the others helping Mohamed had to work to persuade the security guards at the block of luxury flats to let them take him inside out of the cold and onto a sofa in the lobby.
