Shocking CCTV footage shows a man being run over after they jumped into the driver's seat of a Range Rover while it was on the move in Walsall.
In an attempt to escape, the Range Rover begins to reverse as the man dressed in black enters the car on Caldmore Road on Wednesday.
The man, who is in his 30s, was dragged backwards by the door, which was still open, and is then seen falling to the ground before getting caught under the wheels.
As the man lies on the road, the white Range Rover drives away with its driver door still open.
A man wearing an orange t-shirt is then seen getting out of the black car, which blocked the Range Rover, and running over to the man on the ground.
