This is the shocking moment when a 4×4 vehicle was repeatedly driven into a house in an unexplained and ‘terrifying’ attack with a family believed to be inside.
Police are investigating after the shogun assaulted the property in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, around 10pm last Thursday.
The 4×4 could be seen crashing into the house and walls and driving away before the police arrived.
A neighbor reported hearing “banging” and said he believed a father and his three children were in the property at the time.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

The footage shows the car already parked in the driveway of the house before the carnage begins.
Twice, the unknown driver drives forward down the driveway and then reverses to pound the front door.
He then pulls out again and points the back of the car at the garden wall, one side of the driveway, and reverses into it.
After taking a piece from that side of the wall, he does the same on the other side of the wall.
Tabassum Naeem, 54, who lives across the street, said: ‘I heard all that banging.
“So my two sons and I came out to see what was going on. The front door was already damaged.
‘I couldn’t recognize the man who did this because it was too dark, but one of my sons managed to take off part of his license plate and give it to the police.
‘I was really shocked. I know the family. The father is a very nice man with two sons and a daughter. It must have been absolutely terrifying for them.”
