Two men were injured when they fell off the roof of a friend’s sports car in Oxford.

CCTV shows driver Kaseem Ashraf, 25, driving away after showing off his father’s souped-up BMW i8 sports car outside of a nightclub in the city.

Two men are seen sitting on the vehicle’s roof - taking a photo of an unnamed rapper - when Ashraf suddenly speeds up, sending the pair tumbling off the car.

Both were knocked out in the incident and the driver then fled the scene, leading police on a 115mph chase in a 30mph zone before being caught.

Ashraf received an eight-month suspended prison sentence for the incident, which happened on 28 September 2022.
