Man is run over after driver tries to speed away from approaching gang (shocking video)

They batter motorist in bid to free friend stuck under wheels

Newsroom August 13 11:58

This is the horrifying moment a man is run over by a car in South London. 

Video filmed by a passerby in Royal Arsenal, Greenwich on Sunday shows a man running and trying to jump on the back of a moving car, but falling off.

As he falls to the ground, he is run over by a second, black BMW and becomes trapped under the wheels as locals scream in terror.

A fight then ensues among the group of men, with one seen punching through the driver-side window of the car before he is pulled away.

Amidst the chaos, the black car and a third, white vehicle drive away while two men can be seen tending to the injured man.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman told MailOnline: ‘Police were called to Duke of Wellington Avenue, Woolwich, shortly before 06.30hrs on Sunday, 8 August to reports of a fight between a group of males.

‘Officers attended along with paramedics from London Ambulance Service (LAS).

‘A man in his 20s was found seriously injured. He was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital. His injuries have been assessed as non life-threatening.
