Ryan Kichenside, 18, of, South Norwood, south London, became notorious when a film of him pulling a man from his scooter was posted on YouTube, according to a Scotland Yard spokesman.

The teenager has been sentenced to five years and 10 months for violent disorder, robbery and two counts of burglary.

The court was told Kichenside was seen taking part in the disorder in London Road, West Croydon, on August 8.

He was seen throwing rocks and other objects at the police cordon.

Later, a member of the public recorded video footage that showed a man riding a scooter through a large crowd of youths.

Kichenside chased after the scooter rider and grabbed him in a headlock, dragging him off the vehicle and fracturing the victim’s ankle.

He was also the instigator in two attacks on shops which were both the subject of mass looting.

Images of the 66 are being published on the force’s Flickr page in support of continuing efforts by officers in its Operation Withern to identify, arrest and prosecute those involved in the disorder seen across London in August.
