Shocking moment a man attacked by a gang outside homes in Erdington in Birmingham
The gang followed the man in a car before attacking him on a driveway
Police are appealing for help to find a gang of thugs who were caught on CCTV attacking a man in broad daylight with a metal canister.
The 33-year-old victim was followed in a car to Ayre Road, in Erdington, before being assaulted outside a house.
Three men are seen chasing the man onto a driveway where they repeatedly punch him in the face and hit him with a metal canister similar to a thermos flask.
The victim suffered “nasty” head injuries following the brutal attack on May 21 this year. West Midlands Police released footage of the horrific attack as they hunt the gang.
Writing on Twitter, Birmingham Police posted: "Do you recognise these men? We urgently need to speak to them after a man was assaulted outside a house in Erdington on 21 May.
"If you recognise them, or have any information, please contact us via Live Chat on our website quoting crime number 20/484013/22.
"There had been an argument between a group of men, when three men followed the 33-year-old in a car to a Ayre Road. They then got out of the car and attacked him.
"A 22-year-old has been arrested in connection with the assault, and has been released while our enquires continue."
