Horrifying moment a man 'deliberately' run over by a van after a street brawl

This is the horrifying moment a van driver appears to deliberately run over a pedestrian in broad daylight after he and his passenger beat him to the ground in a vicious street brawl.



The Glasgow Housing Association vehicle was filmed ploughing into the man on the pavement following a fight in the Maryhill area of the city.



The victim was floored by several blows before he got back to his feet and appeared to throw something at the driver’s windscreen.



Witnesses screamed in horror as they watched the van accelerate into the young man, who tried to jump onto the bonnet to lessen the impact as he was mown down.



Shocking footage - filmed by a witness in a nearby block of flats - has been posted on Facebook and viewed more than 55,000 times before it was deleted.



It shows two men squaring up to each other in the street as the van pulls up next to them.



The first man throws a punch at his rival, who ducks out of the way.



The driver then rushes out of the van and together with the second man repeatedly punches the victim until he goes down.



He staggers back to his feet and swears at the men as they get in the van and reverse away.



But as they leave he appears to throw an object at the windshield.



The van stops in its tracks and accelerates towards the victim - ramming him to the concrete.



The driver then has to restart the engine after stalling and quickly makes his escape as stunned onlookers hurl abuse at him from the flats above.



Glasgow Housing Association is a registered charity and Scotland’s largest social landlord.



According to its website, the not-for-profit organisation provides 40,000 affordable homes and works closely with Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government.



A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “A 23-year-old man was due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on December 6 in connection with the incident which occurred on December 2 in Carrbridge Drive, Maryhill.



“The victim was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he was treated for his injuries and released a few days later.”



Glasgow Housing Association have been approached for comment.
