A disturbing incident unfolded in East London in the early hours of June 23, 2024, when a man was viciously attacked by a gang shortly after being dropped off by his uncle. The violent encounter, which was captured by the car’s dashcam, shows the gang assaulting the man and smashing the car windows, leading to a chaotic scene on a quiet street.

The video reveals the driver, identified only as the victim’s uncle, expressing distress over the damage to his vehicle, exclaiming, “Oh my car, it’s all broken!” Amidst the turmoil, the passenger, who is the primary target of the attack, is seen trying to fend off the assailants with a knife while pleading with his uncle to drive away quickly and head to the nearest police station.

During the harrowing ordeal, the man also made a frantic call to the Metropolitan Police, seeking immediate assistance. The urgency and fear in his voice highlight the severity of the situation as he struggles to escape the violent ambush.

The incident has raised concerns about safety in the area and the brazenness of gang-related activities. We have reached out to the Metropolitan Police for a statement regarding the attack and to understand the measures being taken to address this surge in public violence.
