This is the brave car owner who was left badly injured after being rammed into a brick wall as he tried to stop a shameless thief from stealing his vehicle outside his home.
Shocking home security footage shared on social media showed the moment Amir Farhadi confronted the brazen criminal as he tried to make a frantic getaway in his Vauxhall Insignia estate.
The reckless thug reversed at speed when Mr Farhadi pulled open the front door of the black diesel car in a bid to stop him.
Footage showed Mr Farhadi lying on the ground in agony and surrounded by rubble after he was trapped behind the door which was ripped off its hinges as he was slammed into the wall behind him.
MailOnline can reveal Mr Farhadi spent days in hospital after undergoing emergency surgery.
His distraught wife Toka Marzouk told how her husband is still recovering from the terrifying ordeal which has left him traumatised.

Speaking at the family’s 1930’s semi-detached home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, she said: ‘My husband only came out of hospital last night. He faces more surgery in the future.
‘It’s very difficult for him to view the video of the incident at the moment. He’s traumatised. He needs time to recover.’
The shocking incident happened outside the couple’s £115,000 home at around 7pm on December 6.
Doorbell footage showed the thief, who was wearing a black tracksuit, white trainers and a green beanie hat, calmly walking onto the driveway at the couple’s home before opening the door and climbing into the driver’s seat.
Mr Farhadi rushed from his home and pulled the door wide open before the thug reversed off at full speed – leaving Mr Farhadi hurtling into the garden wall behind him.
The footage showed the wall was partially demolished in the impact while Mr Farhadi lay in the wreckage as the driver callously roared off.
Mr Farhadi, who used to run his own car valeting business, managed to scramble to his feet clutching his injured left arm.

He is heard shouting in pain as he staggers inside the house to raise the alarm.
In the aftermath of the incident, Mr Farhadi posted a video and photograph of his stolen car on Facebook along with details of the vehicle and the registration number.
But he did not mention the drama as he launched an appeal for information with a caption saying: ‘Stolen this morning from my drive. If anyone sees anything let me know please.’
He went on to reveal he had now got the vehicle back by simply adding in the comments section: ‘Car found.’
It’s not the first time the vehicle has been targeted.
On September 30, Mr Farhadi posted doorbell footage of a hooded thief dressed all in black breaking into the vehicle outside the house.
He wrote: ‘This rat got into my car and took my belongings, four glasses, a Nike jacket, skipping rope and some cash.
‘If anyone gets offered anything let me know please. Cash reward.’
According to his Facebook page, Mr Farhadi studied at the local Danum School Technology College in 2011.
In July he posted footage alongside his wife after she graduated from the University of Leeds with a masters degree in chemical and energy engineering.
He wrote: ‘I feel so lucky to have you in my life, my beautiful queen. So proud that your heart and intentions are good.
‘Congratulations on your new achievement in life and looking forward to many more to come.’
