Armed police smashed the windows of a BMW and seized swords and a loaded gun from gang members after a man was badly beaten in Birmingham.
The car was linked to an attack three days earlier, where a construction worker was beaten with metal poles.
Both his legs and his left arm were broken in the attack and he was taken to hospital for surgery.
The attackers fled the scene in a white BMW, which police tracked to the Black Country Route from London on September 15.
Body-worn footage showed the moment officers from West Midlands Police caught up with the vehicle.
