A man was brutally beaten and slashed with a machete by a gang of thugs in a terrifying attack outside a pub.
The 22-year-old victim was kicked to the ground after being ambushed by the crew in the doorway of the Old Crown Pub in Halesowen, West Midlands, at around 1.15am on March 25.
He suffered multiple injuries during the savage assault and had to receive hospital treatment.
West Midlands Police believe that the victim was deliberately targeted and are now hunting six men in relation to the attack.
The incident was caught on the pub's CCTV and shocking 23-second footage, shows the victim running out of the pub in an attempt to flee the scene.
A group of tracksuit-wearing thugs quickly arrive and kick and hit him before wielding their knives and slashing at his body.
A police spokesman said: 'This kind of violence will not be tolerated.
'We strongly believe that someone knows who did this and that someone will have information that could prove vital to our investigation.'
