Masked gang in attack on car

-

THIS horrifying footage shows the moment a masked gang rammed a car in broad daylight before smashing the driver’s window with a machete and hammer.

A balaclava- clad male is seen repeatedly attacking the Toyota Yaris which has been blocked in by a BMW on a residentia­l street.

The silver BMW then repeatedly smashes into the Toyota, pushing it back into parked cars with its rear wheels off the ground, as a second masked and armed man runs up from behind. He throws a hammer at the windscreen and appears to ready himself to strike at the Toyota with the machete in his left hand. But the 20-second clip then shows him stop and run away with the other assailant.

The shocking attack happened on Saturday evening in Handsworth, Birmingham. It was captured on the dashcam of another motorist.

The clip has been viewed more than 20,000 times on social media.

It is not known what lay behind the attack.
