This is the moment two people were attacked in a busy Camden street.
The Metropolitan Police were called shortly before 7am on Sunday to reports of a fight in Eversholt Street.
Video footage shows a suspect grabbing a woman by the hair while a man is punched and kicked by someone else before the pair drive off in a white Audi.
At one point the female victim tries to stand up but is knocked back to the floor.
It is not clear how the attack began but several reports have suggested it could have been a mugging, with something appearing to be pulled from one of the victim’s hands.
The incident was over by the time the police arrived and all parties had left the scene.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Police were called at 06:55hrs on Sunday, 12 May, to reports of a fight in Eversholt Street, NW1.
“Officers attended the location. All parties had left when police arrived. Enquiries are ongoing to identify those involved.
“Officers are aware of footage being shared on social media.
“Anyone who was a victim is asked to contact police.
“Officers all wish to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information that may assist their investigation.”
It comes after a 66-year-old woman was stabbed to death by a mugger trying to steal her purse at a bus stop in north London, a witness claimed.
Police and emergency crews arrived at the scene in Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware shortly before noon on Thursday, but within two minutes Anita Mukhey was pronounced dead.
In a statement released through the Metropolitan Police, her family said: “Anita Mukhey, 66 years old, was a married mother and grandmother devoted to her family, who also worked part-time in the NHS as a medical secretary.
“The family ask for privacy at this difficult time.”
