This is the shocking moment when two men were pulled out of their car and beaten by a huge crowd of baseball thugs. Alarming footage appeared showing a flatbed truck crashing into a white car in the back of Alum Rock Road, near the Thornton Road junction, around Monday.
Several men jump out of the cab of the truck and run to the car. Then a dark-colored car suddenly stopped in front of the white car and about 15 men repeatedly hit the vehicle with a weapon, smashing the windows.
The thugs were then filmed opening the driver’s side doors and hitting their bats on someone out of sight. A man was then pulled from the passenger’s side and repeatedly stuck while lying on the ground while the attackers watched.

But when the men begin to pull away and scatter, a thug remains and hits the victim as he lies in pain on the road. Then the video surveillance recording ends.
Police and paramedics were called and Alum Rock Road was closed while investigations were conducted. The two victims, aged 23 and 25, were taken to hospital for further treatment.
The white car was smashed in the attack
A West Midlands police spokeswoman said: “We were called to riot with a group of about 15 armed men attacking an Alum Rock Road car shortly after noon today (Monday).
“Officers visited and found two men, aged 23 and 25, with injuries that, fortunately, are not thought to change their lives. They were taken to hospital by paramedics for further treatment.
“The road was closed as initial investigations were carried out, including house-to-house inspections and video surveillance of the area being inspected and retrieved. The vehicle was also seized and will be inspected while investigations continue.”
