In the video, the 71-year-old man is seen being pursued by three youths as he walks along a garden path with a bucket and shovel.
One of the boys pushes the OAP over and then picks up his fallen shovel which he uses to hit the victim.
Meanwhile, his pal in a blue top, tries to kung-fu kick the old man.
As the 71-year-old backtracks away from the gang, they throw items and continue to kick him.
