This shocking CCTV footage shows the moment a fuming woman batters a passer-by after she was simply asked to move her car.
Police have launched an investigation after a 44-year-old woman was grabbed around the neck, thrown to the floor and hit and screamed at by an unknown woman.
Amazingly no-one came to the woman’s aid during the attack, which lasted almost 30 seconds and happened in broad daylight on a busy road in Birmingham.
A few minutes beforehand, the victim had been screamed and shouted at by the passenger of a grey Volkswagen Touran.
The VW was blocking the road, and the victim had asked if the car could be moved to make space for her.
After the victim found another route, parked and began shopping the Touran passenger launched the furious assault, grabbing her hair and dragging her across tables outside the store.
The woman, described as white, in her early 20s, with long brown hair tied back in a pony-tail, and wearing a black vest top and grey tracksuit bottoms, then went to nearby shop and returned to see the woman noting down the vehicle registration number.
She then assaulted her again, before returning back into her car with the male driver and driving away.
The 44-year-old woman suffered a lump to her head and bruising following the assault.
The incident happened at around 1pm on Wednesday 30 July. Police released the CCTV on Saturday September 20.
PC Geraldine Sprigg told the Birmingham Mail: “This was an unprovoked and violent attack on a woman who had asked the driver to move her car which was blocking the road.
“The assault took place in the middle of the day and we are asking for anyone who say the incident or who recognises the woman driver to contact us. The woman assaulted suffered pain and discomfort following the attack and may have lost consciousness for a short time.”
