A chartered accountant was mugged along Essex Road, Islington during the lunch hour on Thursday 20 February before he was dragged for 20 metres.
The Enfield-based accountant was walking along the high street at 12:50pm when the attack took place, the Islington Gazette reported.
A motorcyclist rode up to the accountant and the pillion passenger grabbed the laptop bag off the victims shoulder. The victim then wouldn't let go and had to run alongside the motorcycle subsequently falling over and being dragged for a few seconds.
The victim eventually let go and was taken to Whittington Hospital in Archway where he was treated for a dislocated shoulder. He has since been discharged.
Detective Sergeant Rob Ryan, who is investigating the incident, said: 'The victim was a member of the public walking along a busy street in broad daylight. There must be witnesses.'
The muggers were both men and wearing black crash helmets riding what was thought to be a silver scrambling trail bike.
