Detective Inspector Gemma Currie said: “We’re horrified at the violence used towards this man who simply curled himself into a ball to escape the onslaught.
“Footage shows several people in the area who may have footage or information which could assist and there will be many more who recognise them.
“This could have ended far worse than it has and we would urge you to do the right thing and contact us.”
Please contact Police via Live Chat on west-midlands.police.uk between 8am and midnight, call 101 anytime. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit www.crimestoppers-uk.org
People stand by and film the incident, and then after the crime is finished and the thugs have ran off, those same witnesses will say to the victim “Are you okay?”
Hopefully the filmed evidence will be presented to the police rather than to YT or Instagram for the sake of a few likes
