One thug, wearing a black hoodie, violently attacks the male victim, who is wearing a light green hoodie and jeans, pressing him down on the pavement.

As a car drives calmly past the scene, the attacker grabs the man and throws him onto the road before kicking him aggressively in the face.

He then rips something away from his victim’s grasp before running away with it in his hand.

Meanwhile the other attacker, wearing a purple hoodie, appears to drag the woman, who is dressed in all black, back on to the pavement by her hair as she tries to crawl into the road.

He then presses her head against the side of the road before she manages to push herself up out of his grasp and start pursuing the other thug.

But as she is running, the man who had been holding her down then pushes her strongly to the floor.

Despite the heavy fall, the woman manages to get up before being shoved down once more by the same man.

She is left lying in a car parking spot on the side of the bustling road as a motorbike and a bus pass by.

The attackers then get into their white Audi 4×4 and drive off, narrowly avoiding crashing into the male victim who has wandered into the middle of the street.

Indistinct shouting is heard throughout but towards the end a man can be heard saying ‘let’s go’.
