The pair hit the window before the man, wearing blue, opened the door and started repeatedly punching the driver.

During the brawl, the motorist fell out of the car and attempted to pursue his attacker.

The car, left unattended, began rolling down the street towards traffic lights.

A shocking clip, filmed by a member of the public, shows the driver sprinting after his car with a passer-by also running over to try and stop it.

Fortunately, the owner made it to the car just in time to put the brakes on.

Viewers were left stunned by the clip.

One person said: “Driver finally came to his senses after trying to throw hands whilst the car was rolling towards traffic.”

One other person said: “How funny ‘my way’ was playing in the background.”
