Video: group of men attack woman in her car in Helmond

Video footage has surfaced on social media showing a group of 11 men attacking a woman in her car in Helmond. The incident occurred at 1:30 p.m. on December 31, when the men hit and kicked the car that the woman was sitting in, according to Omroep Brabant.

In the video, you can see the men circling the car on the Vinkelaan in Helmond-Noord after the woman attempts to turn and leave via a pedestrian crossing. The atmosphere changed quickly, and the vehicle came under attack from every direction.

The men repeatedly kick the car, leaving deep dents and breaking the mirrors and headlights. The woman was also subjected to loud verbal abuse, including being called a “Kanker Hoer,” an insult that mentions cancer. One of the attackers could be seen limping away from the scene after kicking the car.

Following the footage, the police have opened an investigation. The precise trigger for the confrontation is still unknown; it has not been publicly revealed whether it stemmed from a conflict or a traffic-related incident.

Apart from confirming that a police investigation is ongoing, no further official information about injuries or arrests has been released regarding the incident. Identifying the suspects may prove challenging, as many of them were wearing face coverings over their noses and mouths.
