Deliveroo takes steps to protect workers from violence

It follows acid attacks in London last month, where the victims included riders delivering by bike or moped. Since then, over 70 Deliveroo riders have said they did not want to complete a delivery because of safety fears. Among the measures being introduced are a new app feature that allows riders to raise security concerns, plus a trial of helmet cameras. Last month, two riders working for Deliveroo and UberEats were among five people injured within 90 minutes in north London by moped riders who threw acid in their faces.
