The Russian beauty was walking down the street in broad daylight when a man on a bike rode past and took the phone from her hands.
Despite Maria screaming for help, the thief cycled across the road and robbed a second woman.
Cops said the second victim was then pushed against a wall – leaving her with a head injury.
Maria claims this is the second time her phone has been stolen in the area.
She said: “I held the phone very close to me and was holding it with both hands.
“And then I just couldn’t believe it, again! Again!
“They stole my phone, only this time the man was on a bicycle, wearing a black helmet and black clothes.
“I started screaming very loudly, asking people to help me and ran after him, all the way I kept screaming to get attention.
“The robber on the bike didn’t really care about my screams and my chasing and went to the other side of the road to pick up another girl’s phone.
“I continued to run and scream all this time, and another young man came running.”
Maria said the suspect then dropped four phones as he made his getaway.
She said: “The robber ended up abandoning his bike. We almost caught up with him and he threw four phones away.
“I live next to Tower Bridge. This is quite a touristy place and, as always, crime thrives in touristy places.
“I would like to ask people not to be silent about such situations, to report it to the police, to attract people’s attention.
“London is becoming more dangerous, and so you can lose your life or your beautiful face in the morning calmly going to work because of the phone.”
The Met Police said they were called to the assault of the second victim.
The force said: “At around 11:41hrs on Friday, 14 April police were called to a report of an assault on Tooley Street, Southwark.
“Officers attended and spoke to a woman, aged in her 20s, who said she had been walking along Bermondsey Street when her phone was stolen out of her hand by two men on pedal cycles, causing her to fall over.
“She managed to chase one of the men down the road before he pushed her into a wall, causing an injury to her head.
“The suspect fell off his bike and made off on foot, discarding several mobile phones as he did so.
“A number of other thefts and attempted thefts were reported at similar times nearby.
“Detectives are investigating; enquiries are ongoing.”
