A man in blue is captured picking up a large, heavy object and throwing it at the car, breaking the glass on the back door in a fit of rage.
After breaking the back window and sending shards of glass flying everywhere, he peers inside the car to look at the damage.
He then proceeds to attack the wing mirror, forcefully kicking one before making his way around to the mirror on the other side to do the same.
Another man appears on the scene, following the angry man around before attempting to help him yank a broken wing mirror off the car.

The man in blue then turns his attention to the bonnet and starts pulling furiously at the windscreen wipers.
His friend eventually bundles him in an attempt to calm him down and stop him from causing any more damage to the car.
Twitter account London and UK Crime uploaded the video with the caption: 'Angry and drunk man destroys Uber driver in North London, I believe this was a couple of days ago.'
The account later confirmed that the attack was supposed to have taken place in Hounslow.
The footage has been watched more than 4,000 times since it was uploaded this morning.
An Uber spokesperson said: 'There is no evidence to suggest that a car belonging to a driver using the Uber app was involved.'
The Met Police was approached for comment but were unable to confirm details of the incident.
