"They are battering him. Get him in, get him in."
In yet more chaotic scenes on Britain’s streets, a lone pubgoer in Birmingham was beaten by a hooded mob.
Shocking footage showed the man in a smoking area at the front of the pub.
He then appears to gesture at the group and open his arms as they walk past.
Some of the men walk in and he appears to square up to the front one, wearing a balaclava. However, he is quickly punched to the ground and then kicked on the floor by two others.
More men surrounded him as he hid under the table.
The attack is filmed by those inside the pub, with a woman heard shouting:
“They are battering him. Get him in, get him in.”
One of the group kicks the pub’s window as people hide inside.
Another video of the attack filmed from the street outside the Clumsy Swan pub in Yardley was also shared online, showing more thugs approaching the pub.
The man recording is heard saying:
“They’re smashing the pub up they shouldn’t do that man. That’s wrong, I don’t agree with that.
“There’s probably families in there, stupid of them to do that. Those people are inside not outside on the street demonstrating.”

The police then state it was ‘a small scuffle which you would see on a Saturday night’.

The incident happened near Bordesley Green where hundreds of young men gathered amid rumours of a far-right march.
A video showed a live Sky News broadcast being interrupted by one male shouting:
“Free Palestine.”
Presenter Becky Johnson was reporting on the situation when a masked man came up behind her on a bike.
Other men approached the broadcast was cut.
Another video filmed close to the pub showed a group of masked men with several Palestine flags surrounding cars in the area.
Muslim community activists later visited the Birmingham pub to reassure scared pubgoers and apologise for what had happened.
Group leader Naveed Sadiq – known as ‘bearded bey’ – said:
“The Clumsy Swan pub is very close to my heart, I only live round the corner.
“This place has never brought me or my family any discomfort. I can only say to the management here and the customers we are very very sorry for what’s happened here today.
“As many of you have seen, that is not a true reflection of who we are as a community.”
A mob surrounded one car with men kicking it and trying to force open a door before a rear window was smashed and the driver tried to escape by driving off the road to a grassy area, while men chased it.

The attacks appear to be in response to earlier attacks on mosques and asylum seeker accommodation by groups of far-right thugs in towns and cities across the country.
Over the past week, protests organised by far-right and anti-immigration groups have quickly descended into chaos, with looting and racist attacks taking place.
Riots have taken place in cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Belfast.
It is reported that such incidents will continue, including in Birmingham.
The rioting was sparked in Southport after the fatal stabbings of three girls – Alice Dasilva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Bebe King.
