Police were attacked as masked bikers went on a violent Halloween rampage on the streets of Birmingham and Solihull last night.
A gang of 200 motorcyclists - many wearing face coverings - ran amok, driving at speed, pulling stunts, attacking a police van and hurling fireworks at motorists.
Around 100 masked bikers surrounded a police van in Yorkminster Drive, Chelmsley Wood, kicking at wing mirrors and trying to smash windows before fleeing as back-up arrived.
Five men and two male youths were arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, causing a public nuisance and motoring offences.
