The thugs then begin kicking the man’s head and stamping on him as he lies defenceless on the floor.

One of the thugs then takes a running kick at the victim’s head and he is left motionless on the floor as the gang move on.

They instantly find another victim who they again punch to the floor and begin brutally kicking in front a group of shocked onlookers.

The thugs then return to the first victim and some of them appear to take photos of him lying on the floor.
