A horrifying video has captured the moment a homeless man kicked in a woman's door to continue his unprovoked attack that left her dripping with blood.

Aisha Waris had been walking home by herself at night in February when she was followed by 22-year-old Gulwali Stanekzay who had been cycling along Minet Avenue, in Harlesden, northwest London, at around 7.40pm.

The thug then rammed his bike into his 23-year-old victim's body and punched her in the face three times as she screamed in terror.

Footage from a doorbell camera, owned by Richard Jarman, showed Stanekzay beating the helpless woman as she cried out for help.

Ms Waris was forced to seek safety in her neighbour's home after Jarman had come out of his house after hearing screaming in the street.

The clip, which was played for Harrow Crown Court, shows the woman whimpering in fear as she pleaded for her attacker to stop.

She screamed 'no' as her attacker pursued her on the property – punching her in the head and face, forcing her to seek shelter inside the house.

Jarman told the homeless man, who reportedly immigrated from Afghanistan, that he was "on camera" before shutting the door.

However, Stanekzay wasn't deterred as he attempted to kick in the door before smashing the glass and the doorbell camera with a bike lock.

But after multiple attempts to gain entry and an attempt to break the doorbell camera, he fled the scene.

In her victim statement, Ms Waris told the court the incident had caused her "distress" and left too scared to leave her home.

She said: "This incident has caused me a lot of distress and had an impact on my emotions and my mental health. I have also sustained physical injuries including bruising and swelling to my eyes, nose and lip.

"I had many bruises on my head, neck, shoulder and back. I have had to go to the hospital to receive treatment for my physical injuries. The CT scan showed that there was no internal damage and it was all external.

"This was hard for me because it made me feel conscious about the way I looked and I did not feel good about myself. I could not even do my makeup due to the pain and the swelling of my facial injuries."

The court also heard that the attacker had been in and out of immigration centres and was homeless at the time of the incident.

Stanekzay pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and two counts of criminal damage at a hearing in May. He has now been sentenced to three years in prison.

Judge Maya Sikand said: "Watching that footage is upsetting and frightening and I'm sorry to say portrays you in a very ugly light."
