A despicable recording has emerged of a gang of thugs brutally mutilating a dead bird in broad daylight.
The CCTV footage displays between 15 to 25 people, mostly male, swarming around what looks to be a dead pigeon on the road, which had been dragged there by one of the group.
A number of the people begin to throw rocks or bricks down onto the corpse before some others jump and stamp on the dead bird.
