A BRAVE neighbour has captured the shocking moment people armed with samurai swords appear to launch a ‘gang attack’ in Reading.
The video, which was captured in the early hours of February 25, shows up to eight masked people surrounding a silver Audi on Regent Street.
They appear to hit the vehicle, which is still running, on its wing mirrors and bonnet as well as smashing the windows with the weapons.

No one appears to be inside the vehicle at the time despite it running.
A resident’s car alarm can be heard going off through the video of the incident which is said to have happened at about 3am.

One of the armed people can then be heard shouting an inaudible command and the whole group run from the resident street.
The 30 second video was captured by a resident from a window. It is believed the driver may have fled before the attack.
