“Then out he climbed and off he ran trying to flag down motorists to give him a lift.

“We were a little curious as to why there were two hospital crutches in the car but after a quick check of some camera footage all was revealed as we watched him hobbling away with a pot on his leg.”

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
