A group gathered to watch as the car was battered<\/p>\n

Shocking footage shows the group climbing on the white Mercedes and stamping on the windscreen.<\/p>\n

Roughly a dozen men are seen trampling on the vehicle before about three, dressed in white t-shirts, begin mercilessly kicking the driver.<\/p>\n

The horrifying video shows thugs forcefully booting the person inside the car, while onlookers try to capture the grim scene on their phones. <\/p>\n

A vehicle parked next to the Mercedes also appears to take a beating with many jumping on the car to watch the chaos unfold. <\/p>\n

After several minutes, the Mercedes driver is seen making a swift getaway with a cracked windscreen and the boot still open. <\/p>\n

Earlier, victim Top5 posted clips of himself to Instagram watching Drake<\/a>‘s Wireless Festival set from a VIP section near the stage. <\/p>\n

The pair were pictured watching a basketball game in January, with Top5 describing the God’s Plan hitmaker as his “twin”.<\/p>\n

The rapper – cleared last year of a murder charge in his native Toronto – is said to have angered rap rivals in the capita after telling fans in a social media live stream: “There is no real killers in London.”<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police said officers were called at around 12.15am today to reports of a stabbing in Springpark Drive, near Finsbury Park.<\/p>\n

A spokesman added: “The victim, a man in his 20s was approached by a group who damaged his car before stabbing him in the leg. He was taken to hospital and his injuries are not believed to be life-changing.<\/p>\n

“Enquiries remain ongoing and no arrests have been made at this stage.”<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram, podcaster DJ Akademics shared a picture of the report with the caption: “pray for Top5. Wish him a speedy recovery.”<\/p>\n

Cops have since urged anyone with information to call 101 or reach out on X and quote CAD105\/17JULY.<\/p>\n

Enquiries remain ongoing and no arrest have been made at this stage.<\/p>\n

Dozens were captured jumping on the car and breaking the windscreen<\/p>\n

The terrifying incident happened just minutes after rapper Drake, 38, performed on the Wireless stage. <\/p>\n

Despite what many called a stellar performance, many fans were left disappointed as they were led to believe they’d be getting two Drake sets – one at 18:25 and one at 20:55.<\/p>\n

But the first mysteriously vanished from the schedule mid afternoon.<\/p>\n

Festivalgoers were left even more confused when his set finished after just 40 minutes due to London’s strict 9:30pm curfew.<\/p>\n

He told the crowd: “London, I will love you for the rest of my life”, as he rushed through his set.<\/p>\n

Writing on Instagram after the show, Drake said he didn’t know what had happened but thanked festivalgoers for their support.<\/p>\n

In a post he said: “Thank you London. Need some time to process what just happened so I don\u2019t have my usual caption\u2026just thank you so much for the best 3 nights of my performance career.”<\/p>\n

Wireless festival, Drake and Top5 have been approached for comment. <\/p>\n
