Police released shocking video footage showing thugs savagely assaulting a defenceless man as he cowered on the floor in Birmingham city centre yesterday (28 June).
The 40-year-old man was set upon in Corporation Street at around 6pm and robbed of his wallet and keys.
He was left with nasty head injuries and needed hospital treatment to a badly bruised eye and possible fractures after one of the offenders stamped on his head.
The shocking footage shows several people witnessing and filming the incident and we would urge them to contact us as soon as possible so that we can identify those involved.
Detective Inspector Gemma Currie said: “We’re horrified at the violence used towards this man who simply curled himself into a ball to escape the onslaught.
“Footage shows several people in the area who may have footage or information which could assist and there will be many more who recognise them.
“This could have ended far worse than it has and we would urge you to do the right thing and contact us.”
