This is the startling event where a naked man assaulted a motorist and tried to enter his car with a child present.

At a roundabout, he entered through the driver’s side but was pulled out and restrained by courageous bystanders.

Onlookers reported that the unclothed man was targeting “any car or person nearby”.

Footage taken on Sunday afternoon in Middleton, Greater Manchester, showed him attacking the driver of an orange car, kicking him in the torso.

He appeared to throw a punch as the dad tried to get him to go away.

The nude man lunged at the motorist as he desperately tried to get in his car, pulling him out as his dog leaped out with him.

He then climbed in the driver’s side, before being dragged out.

Shocked onlookers watching from the nearby Aldi ran to help when they realised there was a child in the back on the vehicle.

Shouts of “get the kids out of the car” were heard in the footage.

A woman posted on Facebook to thank the “amazing men who helped from the pub” nearby.

She said her dad and her 11-year-old daughter were in the car.

Cops were called to reports that a naked man was approaching vehicles at random near the Middleton Archer pub that afternoon.

Greater Manchester Police said: “Officers arrested a man in Middleton town centre on suspicion of assault and criminal damage.

“He remains in police custody.”
