This is the shocking moment two people were assaulted near London’s Euston station in an illegal attack in broad daylight. In the violent incident, just yards from bustling Camden High Street, two men attacked a man and a woman this morning before fleeing in a white Audi.
Grim footage has emerged of the two thugs brazenly punching and kicking the couple on Eversholt Street in north London before apparently fleeing with some of their belongings. Each man attacks a victim during the robbery while shocked bystanders watch and cars drive down the capital’s busy street.
A thug, wearing a black hoodie, violently attacks the male victim, who is wearing a light green hoodie and jeans, pressing him to the pavement.
As a car calmly passes by, the attacker grabs the man and throws him onto the road before aggressively kicking him in the face.
He then snatches something out of his victim’s reach before fleeing with it in his hand.
Meanwhile, the other attacker, who is wearing a purple hoodie, appears to drag the woman, who is dressed all in black, onto the sidewalk by pulling her hair as she attempts to crawl toward the road.
He then presses her head against the side of the road before she manages to get out of his grasp and start chasing the other thug.
But as she runs, the man who had been holding her pushes her hard to the ground.
Despite the heavy fall, the woman manages to get up before being pushed again by the same man.
They leave her stranded in a parking spot on the side of the busy road while a motorcycle and a bus pass by.
The attackers then got into their white Audi 4×4 and drove off, narrowly avoiding colliding with the male victim who was in the middle of the street.
Confusing screams are heard throughout, but towards the end a man can be heard saying “let’s go.”
The shocking attack comes just days after a suspected phone thief was knocked off his bike in the capital and confronted, before being quickly backed up by his machete-wielding accomplice.

Meanwhile, in April, a thief on a bicycle snatched a woman’s mobile phone from her hands as she walked on the sidewalk.
The balaclava-wearing criminal snatched the phone from his shocked victim before running away down a trendy street near the center of the capital.
The chaos unfolded in Stratford, north-east London, on Sunday, May 5, and was caught on the dashcam of a passing car.
The man, who had supposedly stolen a cell phone, went flying after being hit by a car, but received reinforcements: his friend brandished the large knife at his attacker.
The video shows the two masked men cycling down the road, with the former passing the dash-cam car without incident.
However, as the second cyclist passes, a car traveling in the same lane as the filming engine suddenly stops on the other side of the road.
The car deliberately crashes into the man’s bike and sends him flying into a tree, causing him to come off the bike and fall to the pavement.
The car stops on the other side of the road as the injured thug stands up and runs, limping, after his friend.
Seconds later, the alleged thief’s partner returns for revenge and quickly returns to the painting with his accomplice at his side.
The driver exits the vehicle and begins yelling at the thugs, but quickly backs away after the second masked man pulls out a huge machete and rides toward the driver.
It comes after another offender on a bike confiscated a man’s phone in nearby Park Lane.
With the cavalry there to back him up, the thug who was hit picks up the bicycle abandoned on the side of the road and remounts it.
