This is the shocking moment an attacker tried to smash his way into a home after chasing a woman who he assaulted on the street.
The woman was on Facetime with a friend when she was randomly attacked by Gulwali Stanezay, 22, on February 26 in North West London.
Terrified, she managed to flee into a stranger’s home who bravely provided shelter for her.
The homeowner said her partner heard a commotion outside their house before seeing a woman outside their door running from a man.
The footage – taken from two cameras at the side and above their door – then shows Stanezay taking long runs up to the door to try and kick it down.

When this doesn’t work he smashes one of the cameras using a D-lock and then uses that to hit the glass windows on the front of the door.
The homeowner inside can be heard screaming ‘Christ’ as Stanezay smashes the door for more than one minute.
Towards the end of the video a police officer arrives and says: ‘We did our best to find him and we chased after him….and we couldn’t find him.’
He also explained how the police were very busy that night because Wembley Stadium had been hosting the Carabao Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Before the 22-year-old started to smash through the door, the friend on facetime to the woman was able to contact her father who went out looking for her.
However, he eventually came across Stanezay and was punched by him.
Stanezay was arrested on March 1, three days after police were called to reports of two people assaulted and vehicles damaged at the location.
He has since pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated bodily harm and two counts of criminal damage, which now means this horrifying footage can be released.
