Chaos in lawless London as two people mugged by violent thugs in broad daylight attack
Horrific footage has emerged of the moment a man and woman were left on the floor after being violently mugged on the streets of London on Sunday morning.
The shocking incident saw a pair of hooded thugs attack two members of the public in the Borough of Camden, just outside Central London, at around 7am on Sunday morning before fleeing the scene in a white Audi SUV.
In the footage, the two thugs – one in blue, the other in black and grey – can be seen apparently pulling the female victim’s hair as she lies in the road and kicking the man in the head as he curls up on the pavement.
As the attacker in black and grey runs to drive the pair away, the other can be seen shoving the woman to the ground, sending her legs skidding across the tarmac.
The male victim initially appears to collapse in the street as the blue-clad attacker stands over him, before the yob approaches the woman and pushes her to the ground once more.
As the duo of attackers escape, the man tries to reach their car, but the Audi speeds away, leaving him stumbling back towards the pavement.
Throughout the attack, the thugs appear to be wrestling for the victims’ belongings, only leaving after seemingly grabbing the items they were after.
Two more pedestrians can be seen watching the scene unfold, while a motorcyclist pulls up to a halt just before the video ends.
