The footage, captured by another driver, shows the moment two balaclava-clad men wielded machetes trying to smash their way through a motorist’s window.

The video shows the two men jumping out of a BMW before reaching the smaller Toyota vehicle and trying to break through the glass window.

The BMW then drives into the Toyota, pushing it into a parked vehicle in a residential street in Birmingham in broad daylight.

A clip of the incident, which took place in the inner city suburb of Handsworth, was shared on social media yesterday and viewed more than 20,000 times.

It shows the BMW shunting the Toyota into a parked car as a female passenger in the car which captured the incident on camera says: “Back up, back up, back up.”

The cameraman then zoomed in to reveal a masked man wearing a black hoody and jeans slashing at the car with a machete, only to be followed by another masked man appearing to hurl a hammer at the windshield before running away.

Last week, terrifying footage emerged showing a furious cyclist threatening a driver with a huge knife after being almost hit off his bike.
