A man smashed the windscreen of a luxury supercar as he brazenly walked over the bonnet and jumped up and down on the roof.
The man was spotted by the owner of the McLaren as he had his haircut over the road at a barber nearby in Uxbridge, west London.
Video footage shows the man casually walking over the front of the car before bouncing on the windscreen causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Passers-by including a woman pushing a pram just walked past as he climbs over the car.
Other members of the public are said to have screamed at him telling him to get down, but he didn’t seem to care, a witness said.
Footage also later showed that a man had been handcuffed by police officers, but Scotland Yard has said it is investigating the incident and no arrests have been made.
The Mclaren 720s, which costs around £225,000 was parked in Barker Road close to Uxbridge bus-station and belongs to celebrity supercar dealer George Gehdu.
