In the footage, the suspect could be seen shouting at the victim before suddenly slapping him on the back of the head six times.
Thankfully, the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet and it took the brunt of the forceful slaps, almost dislodging from the rider’s head a couple of times.
The last two hits were so forceful that the victim nearly lost his balance and almost fell off his bike.
After the assault, the man sped off in his vehicle.
