A middle-aged man was knocked down by a reversing car before being hit again just seconds later by the same vehicle. 

The incident, which took place in Limehouse, East London on Saturday evening, occurred between two cars on a residential street lined with terraced homes.   

The pedestrian, who is in his 40s, was rushed to hospital following the ordeal while an 18-year-old man was today arrested on suspicion of murder, police confirmed. 

In the footage, the victim in orange clothing is brutally knocked backwards when a white car dangerously reverses onto the pavement, narrowly missing a grey vehicle sat still on the road. 

In a shocking events, the white car then aggressively drives forward before the man – who has just managed to stand up – is able to get out the way, sending him flying through the air. 

The white vehicle then smashes into the grey car in the road, while the victim lies face down on the street. 

A row breaks out between a female witness and the four people inside the white vehicle, as she wrestles to open the left-side back door shouting ‘open the f****** car’. 

‘Call the police, call the f****** police, get out the car,’ she adds. 

Police, upon their investigation later revealed the incident was one of two to happen yesterday evening involving the same car.
