Yob leaps onto bonnet of taxi as pals hurl rocks at windscreen after cabbie's lured to dead-end street

This is the shocking moment a gang of yobs lured an unsuspecting taxi driver down a dead-end street before attacking his car.

The cabbie's dashcam footage shows one boy run up the bonnet and windscreen of the vehicle as his friends hurl rocks at the windows.

The panicked driver can be seen desperately trying to get away - attempting a three-point turn in the road as stones continue to hit the car.

The Manchester Evening News reports that the incident happened in Whitefield in Bury at around 4pm on Tuesday.

It's understood the group of youths had called the taxi to the city's Victoria Avenue from a withheld number before ambushing the vehicle close to Whitefield Community Primary School.
