This is the shocking moment a cake shop worker was attacked by a gang of eight men – who then pelted him with his own desserts.
The brazen thugs swarm in on their victim as he is on the phone, threateningly walking behind the counter and trapping him in a corner.
One 22-year-old man has been arrested after the attack at Sweet Sensations dessert shop in Shipley, near Bradford, West Yorkshire.
The victim suffered injuries to his body but was not in a serious condition.
The men – who all wear dark, hooded coats – flood the small cafe and attack their victim as he looks up confused.

Most also appear to be wearing blue disposable gloves.
A lady, who also appears to work at the cake shop, leaves for the back room but comes back later to watch.
As the first thug throws a punch one man even leaps the counter in his eagerness to join the violence.
The first punch drops the cake shop worker to the floor and within seconds seven thugs surround him.
Horrific video shows them crowded around him, kicking, stomping and punching the helpless worker.

One man, who walks into the shop as the attack is happening, covers his face with his hands and is so horrified by what he sees he quickly leaves.
One thug leaves for a second – but quickly goes back, returning to the violence.
Three brutes break off from the group and one rips the cover off the cake displays.
They then shove it round and one picks out a tray of desserts – lobbing it at their victim.
As quickly as they came in they get out of the shop, leaving the shop worker crawled in a foetal position on the floor, surrounded by scattered paper.
