CCTV captured the ‘gratuitous’ attack on Martin McDonagh and the moment drunken thug Nicholas Adair deliberately ran him over in Harehills.

Mr McDonagh was subjected to the savage beating when he tried to stop Adair, 28, and another man, Tyrone Gentles, 30, carrying out an unprovoked attack on two teenagers outside a shop.

The 50-year-old victim was struck over the head with a bottle before the two attackers kicked and stamped on him as he lay on the ground.

Mr McDonagh managed to run off but Adair and Gentles then got into a Mitsubishi Shogun and trawled streets in the vehicle looking for him.
