A taxi driver returned home from doing his weekly shop to find the front of his car badly damaged by an off-road bike.
Simon Mercur claims witness to the incident told him they saw three men riding against traffic down Dewsbury Road in Anfield - which is a one-way street - before losing control of the bike and crashing into his VW Passat.
Simon, who moved to the UK six years ago, said that since moving to Dewsbury Road there have been a number of incidents with illegal off-road bikes in the area. After calling his insurance Simon checked his CCTV.

He said: "I could see when they crashed into my car one of them jumped into the air after the impact. Then two of them ran off.
"Sometimes bikers come down the road doing wheelies with no plates. Off-road black bikes that police try to chase all the time it has been a problem since I moved onto this road."
This is not the first time Simon has been involved in a hit-and-run accident. Just three weeks ago his car was written off while working in the town centre when a car smashed into the back of his taxi outside the bombed-out church. The VW Passat he had been driving for the last three weeks was a courtesy car he was using while waiting for his new vehicle to arrive.
Merseyside police confirmed they are investigating the crash. A spokesperson for the police said: "Anyone who witnessed the incident, or has any information which could assist the investigation, is asked to call the Matrix Roads Policing Unit on (0151) 777 1530 or contact @MerPolCC on Twitter or Merseyside Police Contact Centre on Facebook quoting reference 22 000408346."
