Footage of the sickening attack was uploaded online before being taken down.
Mr. Karasoylu is heard screaming for help as an unknown man in black grabs his signal orange shirt from behind and pulls him onto the pavement.
The man then stands over the TikTok user and hits him on the head several times.

Throughout the ordeal, the attacker appears to Mr. Karasoylu as “my wife” and “my wife, yes?” to scream.
Mr. Karasoylu keeps calling for help before the man pushes him against a fence.
Another man who recorded the attack on his phone tells the attacker “let’s go, let’s go” at the end of the clip.
Police were then called to the scene and are now investigating.
“Royde Police Area Command officers were told the man had been assaulted at a house on Greenwich Road, Greenwich, before stopping along the M2,” a police spokesman said.
“A crime scene has been identified at a residence on Greenwich Road. No further information is available at this time.’

Mr Karasoylu was rushed to Royal North Shore Hospital by paramedics after the incident.
He shared pictures of himself with cuts and bruises on his face on TikTok the next day.
He claimed the two men stole his phone while he was being beaten.
Mr Karasoylu, who has more than 10,000 followers on his TikTok account, posted a video a day before the attack revealing that he had to call police to his home after being ‘attacked’ in another incident.
