Jake Carter, from Childwall, has shared Ring doorbell footage and a CCTV clip of the incident on his TikTok page after the crash happened outside his house.

The 23-year-old claims the Silver Nissan, which was hit by the 'scrambler bike', belonged to a mechanic who was coming to his home to look at a car.

He claims the mechanic indicated and drove towards his house and onto his drive.

However he claims that as the driver turned into the driveway, "two scrambler bikes flew up the road" and smacked into the back of the Nissan.

Ring doorbell footage shows one of the riders jumping on his wall and screaming: "You nearly killed me lad. What were you doing?"

In footage shared with the ECHO, thug wearing a balaclava can then be seen jumping onto the bonnet of a Range Rover on the drive and smashing it with his foot.

The Range Rover was not involved in the crash.

Speaking over the TikTok video, which shows the CCTV footage, Jake Carter said: "Three lads wearing balaclavas were extremely confrontational and aggressive to the gentleman.

"The mechanic is an older guy who is lovely and he was extremely shook up [sic] by this situation.

"But then one of the three musketeers decides to do a little bit of a jigg on the wall before jumping onto my dad's car and basically kicked the windscreen in.

"Spiderman then jumps back on the wall before fleeing the scene on another scrambler."

Jake's video of the crash and the thug later vandalising his dad's car has been viewing on TikTok more than 50,000 times.

It was shared on his page @Jakecartermusic with the caption: "Help us find who these scumbags are, someone must know something? They’re missing a scrambler now! Please share."

In the video, Jake points to the ECHO article about the motorbike being left abandoned in the middle of the road.

He then says: "So this happened outside our house in Liverpool today and one lovely boy decided to do some bodywork to my dad's Jeep."
