This is the shocking moment two men were dragged out of their car and beaten by a huge mob of baseball-wielding thugs.
Disturbing footage has emerged showing a flatbed lorry ramming a white vehicle from behind on Alum Rock Road, close to the junction of Thornton Road, Birmingham, at midnight on Monday.
A number of men jump out of the truck’s cabin and run towards the car.
A dark-coloured car then suddenly stops in front of the white car and around 15 men start repeatedly striking the vehicle with weapons, smashing the windows.
The thugs are then filmed opening the driver’s side doors and striking their bats at someone on the ground who is out of sight.
A man is then pulled out of the passenger side and repeatedly stuck as he lies on the ground as the attackers watch on.
But as the men begin to back off and disperse, one thug remains and batters the victim as he lies in pain on the roadside.
CCTV footage then finishes.

This follows another serious attack in the same area where a gang attacked a driver and smashed up businesses during a crime spree around Alum Rock.
On Saturday, thugs travelling in Saltley attacked a driver with weapons at around 5pm.
The victim, aged 31, was rammed by the gang before he fled on foot for safety inside a petrol station. His attackers followed him inside and damaged the front door before fleeing.
The group also broke into a business on Alum Rock Road and began causing damage and throwing items from the roof.
Armed officers were sent to the scene and discovered their getaway car was stolen and on cloned number plates. A machete was also recovered.
West Midlands Police have stressed that this incident is not linked to the subsequent attack on Monday night.
