This is probably the most disgusting thing I've seen all year

At first, it appears as though onlookers had captured a rare moment of compassion during the shocking London riots.
*Scroll down for video*
A young man sits at the side of the road, bleeding from the head or nose, and is approached by a group of apparent Good Samaritans.
A man in a tracksuit kneels down to help the bleeding man to his feet and begins leading to safety.
Then, in a sickening turn, another man wearing a baseball cap comes up from behind and begins rummaging through the injured man’s backpack. Before long, another man on a bicycle pulls up and reaches into the lad’s bag, as does the man in the tracksuit who, apparently believing the lad’s injuries to be minor, seems to also want to get in on the free-for-all robbery.
Before long, the man in the baseball cap finds an object in the bag, yanks it out, and takes off down the road, throwing something on the ground in the process.
The group, having seemingly decided there was nothing else worth stealing from the bleeding youth, turns its back and continues up the road, leaving the dazed victim to wander alone.
The disturbing video, posted to YouTube late Monday, has elicited nearly 500 comments condemning the behaviour of the mob.
“This is pathetic,” wrote one commenter, going by the name InternetPoster. “The two guys lift him up, giving the impression they are helping him, and then take his stuff. A third comes over to get a piece of the action, and dozens of others watch and do nothing. What happened to England?”
“This is just the lowest of the low,” wrote commenter EverythingTaboo.
On Tuesday, Metropolitan Police Commander Simon Foy warned that those who have taken part in the rioting and looting over the past three days would be “brought to justice,” as he released the first batch of photographs of suspects.
“Those who have or intend to go out and commit violent, criminal acts should be warned,” he said in a statement. “We will not tolerate the violence that has been seen in parts of London.”
