Video footage shows the moment when violent far-right rioters dragged an Asian man out of his car and smashed it up.
This weekend so far hundreds of riots have swept across Manchester, Liverpool, Hull, Bristol, Stoke-on-Trent, Blackpool and Belfast, forcing families to run for their lives.
In the video, a mob charges towards the grey car parked in a car park in Hull, as the group of racist men shout ‘p***’ at the driver.
Fire and smoke is seen billowing around the area as car horns also sound in the background.
The man was reportedly dragged out of the car by the mob before they smashed it up.
In the video, a man can be heard in the background saying ‘come on lads, let’s smash it up’.
A rioter who has a bandanna covered across his face can be seen reaching inside the car as a shopping trolley can be seen in the windscreen.

The group eventually ran off when armed police arrived
Other eyewitnesses can be heard shouting for the police as the large group surround the vehicle.
The man originally streamed the video on TikTok and said: ‘Someone is going to get hurt here’.
He also said that there are ‘foreigners in the car’.
The group of men then run off when anti-riot police holding protective shields arrive at the scene.
Images across social media also showed the car had been reversed into a fence as the man inside tried to escape the violent mob.
Police have struggled to contain the violence as the ‘extremists’ have hurled bricks, bottles and other missiles at them in various cities.
Tensions have been running high since three children were stabbed to death in Southport last Monday.
Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar were stabbed to death at the event at Hart Space Studios.
