Three police officers are seen being battered over the head with a bicycle after violence erupted along a city street in broad daylight.

West Midlands Police were called to Villa Road, in Lozells, Birmingham, to arrest two men outside a shop before the scenes unfolded this week.

Officers can be seen calling for backup as they struggle to detain one of the men, who leaves a police officer lying on the ground with a head injury during the struggle.

But as multiple officers attempt to overpower the man, a separate onlooker can be seen picking up a bike and smashing the group of officers over the head with it.

The man then swings a punch at an officer’s face before throwing what appears to be a cabbage at him.

An elderly man, believed to be the shop owner, then wrestles the attacker to the ground before the suspect is detained by the officer.
