Terrifying moment cyclist ‘stabs car passenger with giant knife’ through window in broad daylight ‘attack’

THIS is the terrifying moment a cyclist appears to stab a car passenger with a huge knife in an attack in broad daylight.

Disturbing dashcam footage from the horror incident shows the rider lunging at the man through the window of the car with the blade.

The knifeman is captured riding along the street before dismounting suddenly when he spotted the vehicle.

He can then be seen pulling the blade from his sleeve before thrusting it through the open car window while the car was waiting in traffic.

The shocking violence broke out in the Alum Rock area of Birmingham on Easter Sunday.

After the jab, the cyclist backs away – revealing the length of the knife – while the driver tries to swerve around other cars in a bid to escape.

The knifeman, who is wearing a black hoodie and tracksuit bottoms, then picks his bicycle up and casually rides away from the scene while the car disappears into the distance.

The chilling attack is believed to have taken place at around 6pm on Sunday just off the busy Alum Rock Road.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: “We cannot find a record of this incident being reported to us. However we are aware of footage circulating on social media and would urge any witnesses to get in touch.”

Footage of the incident was uploaded by website Birmz is Grime, where it has since been viewed thousands of times by horrified web users.

One wrote: “Absolutely shocking.”

Another said: “The person that witnessed this – my thoughts are with you and the victim in this.”

Another web user said: “This is becoming all too common on our streets.

“No regard for human life.”

A fourth person wrote: “I hope the victim is okay, the fact he is able to open the car door is a positive sign at least.

“The level of violence in this is just disgusting.

“He is aiming to do some serious damage here, you can tell.”

One added: “The fact this doesn’t shock me anymore is perhaps the most shocking thing about it.

“Our streets are becoming lawless.”

In February, two little girls walking in Alum Rock were savaged by a “crazed” dog.

Hero neighbours rushed to save the girls, aged two and three, after spotting them being “thrown about like dolls”.

Shocking footage shows the escaped animal leaping on the little ones before brave passers-by managed to drag them away and into a vehicle to keep them safe.

Both of the girls recovered from the attack.
