Terrifying moment car slams into a crowd of people outside the MI6 building
Horrified onlookers watched as a gang of five hooded men attempted to kick and stamp on a man opposite the secret service base in Vauxhall, London.
A black A-Class Mercedes then ploughs into the group – narrowly missing the person being attacked on the floor – before crashing into a dark blue Ford Mondeo estate.
Video shows the Mercedes reversing and hitting the Ford again as the driver attempts to flee – while members of the gang scream and hurl objects at car.
And as the wrecked motor accelerates away, the man who seconds earlier was being booted by the thugs, appears to leap into it.
