Brandishing a huge blade and stamping on a car windscreen, this shocking dash cam image shows London’s latest terrifying moped attack.

Thugs carrying a hammer and a huge ‘zombie style’ knife approached a Mazda on the busy North Circular carriageway in Finchley, north London last weekend.

Four moped muggers on two vehicles ganged up on the helpless driver, smashing his vehicle with the hammer before demanding his £14,000 two watches.

One of the victims handed over an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak timepiece, while another gave the muggers a Fossil watch.
