Police said initial investigations indicate a 23-year-old man was riding an electric scooter along Bayswater Road, Hyde Park when he was approached by a man on a push bike around 10.30pm on Wednesday.
The assailant threatened the young man before physically assaulting him, causing him to fall off the scooter and sustain injuries.
