A shocking video of two girls kicking and hitting a taxi has emerged on social media.

The video was filmed in Corporation Street in Dewsbury from an upstairs window and shows one of the girls, with long blonde hair, grab and try to hit the taxi driver.

The driver raises his arm before walking back round to get back in the car, while both girls run back to the car and begin violently hitting the windows, kicking the doors and trying to pull off the wing mirror.

It is not clear which company the taxi driver works for - or what happens after the girls kick the car, as the video comes to an end.

Although it is unknown when the video was filmed, it was posted on Spotted:Yorkshire in the early hours of this morning, when followers expressed their shock at the girls' actions.

West Yorkshire Police have been contacted for a comment.
