The trio approach the homeless man before one bends down in front of him and appears to be shouting in his face.
His friends remain straddling their bikes beside him as he begins angrily gesturing at the homeless man who has his arms tucked inside his sleeping bag.
The thug briefly looks away before lifting his leg and kicking the homeless man.
The force causes the man’s head to bounce off the window behind him.
