The story is reads like an action scene from one of his many high octane movies and cements actor Tom Hardy's tough guy image.
Police in Richmond, south-west London said Hardy helped to stop and apprehend a young man who had reportedly stolen a motorbike. The other accused was caught by the police.
According to media reports, the two 16-years-old suspected thieves stole the bike and fled. They jumped a red light and crashed into a car.
Tom Hardy had apparently seen them stealing the bike and chased one of them through what a witness described as a assault course.
