This is the frightening moment a vehicle tried to ram its way out of a British supermarket car park.

The footage shows it smashing into other vehicles as it attempted to leave a Tesco store in Rickmansworth, north-west of London.

In the video, the car can be seen wildly backing up before ramming, twice, into a vehicle blocking its way.

Shoppers and Tesco staff are filmed attempting to stop the vehicle by slamming it with shopping trollies but are forced to jump out of its way several times.

By the time it manages to squeeze its way through and speed off towards the exit, the car is severely dented, with one wing mirror dangling off the side and its back window completely smashed.
