This is the courageous moment a have-a-go heroine chased off a gang of bike thieves with a spade after they pushed a cyclist off his bike.
Tami Dacre, 50, of Hopwood, Worcestershire, picked up the shovel after rushing out of her home to confront two balaclava-clad thieves.
Dramatic footage shows the thugs getting out of a black vehicle and approaching a man – who turned out to be the husband of Ms Dacre’s friend – turning into a driveway on his bike.
They both grab a wheel and begin pulling at the bike while the cyclist, who has fallen to the ground, holds onto the frame in an attempt to stop them.
Single mother Ms Dacre then terrifies the duo by rushing towards the danger with a spade and screaming: ‘You f*****g w*****s, f*** off.’

The thieves quickly turn around and flee as Ms Dacre approaches them before making their escape in the car.
The mother-of-four told The Sun: ‘It really grinds my gears to think that no one would help out in that kind of situation.
‘I didn’t even need to think about it. I have never felt so much anger in my life.
‘These people, they don’t expect to be challenged. They think they can get away with it, even in broad daylight.’
She added: ‘We shouldn’t stand back in these situations. My message to people is ‘don’t be a bystander – help’.
The mother said she was enjoying a cup of tea in her kitchen when she heard cars beeping on Tuesday morning.
She then saw the cyclist on the floor wrestling with the raiders who were demanding he let go of his bike.
She said: ‘The adrenaline just kicked in and I grabbed the shovel, which was propped up against the wall, and went after them.
‘They weren’t expecting it and ran. They were surprised that someone was willing to take them on.’
She added: ‘I didn’t realise until I got out there but he’s a friend’s husband.’
‘I didn’t even need to think about it. I have never felt so much anger in my life,’ she said
Dramatic footage captured the moment a group of men were tackled by have-a-go heroes as they ‘tried to make off with electrical goods worth more than £3,000’
The car was stolen and running on fake plates before being pursued by another hero in a BMW before being abandoned, The Sun reported.
A spokeswoman for West Mercia Police said: ‘On October 3 we received a report of an attempted robbery that had taken place shortly after 9.30am in Hopwood.
‘Enquiries are ongoing.’
It comes after a group of have-a-go heroes who foiled a group who allegedly loaded a car with stolen goods were revealed as ‘crime fighters’ who tackled the shoplifters while on their lunch break.
A team from TM-Eye, a private investigating force of former police detectives, said they waited more than half an hour for police to arrive after they took down the thieves.
Dramatic footage captured the moment the group was tackled as they ‘tried to make off with electrical goods worth more than £3,000’.
The men were seen throwing items in a shopping trolley into a car in a Tesco car park in Waltham Abbey, Essex.
In the video, three men, who were allegedly shoplifting, quickly jump into their black BMW as another group run towards the vehicle.
As they try to drive away, the men who surrounded the car manage to open the door and try to drag the alleged thieves out.
