This is the horrifying moment a man repeatedly tries to force his way into an actress' car as she screams at him to get away from her.
In a sickening video captured in central London, the man can be seen smirking widely as he repeatedly tugs on her door, trying to get inside.
Wearing a black puffer jacket and using a grey hoodie in an attempt to mask his face, at one point he waves his hand and appears to laugh as the clearly-terrified woman shouts at him to leave.
He then puts his second hand on her car as he continues his attack with more force - continuing to try and open the car for a full two minutes at 10.30pm on the junction between Dock Street and the A1203, near the Tower of London.
And Shanika Ocean, who posted the video to warn other women to lock their doors when driving, says she called police but they would not come out - instead offering her an interview slot next week.
The actress, who has starred in Netflix's You and BBC hit Silent Witness, said: 'I don't really remember what happened next - somehow I managed to swerve around him and drive off.

'Obviously it's just a horrible, horrible experience. Just make sure you lock your car doors. London isn't safe at all.
'You can't walk with your phone out because it will probably get stolen by these guys on electric bikes, make sure your car doors are locked because you're going to get weirdos trying to get into your car.
'I wasn't even going to call the police but I was like - nah I should, because obviously this could happen to someone else this evening. I said I've got a video of him, I've got a description and they said oh ok, we'll sort an appointment next week and you can discuss it then because he did gun signs.
'There is no police, this guy is still lurking out there. To anyone, make sure you lock your car doors.
'And especially women, when you're driving alone - London just isn't safe anymore at all and I'm literally like - thank God my doors were locked. I dread to think what would have happened if they were not.'
The horrifying incident comes amid a spree of crime on lawless London's streets - with Ms Ocean saying that just weeks before a man on an e-bike had tried to snatch her phone as she walked along the street.
Ms Ocean said she had to stop at a red light when the man approached her car and started doing 'weird signals' with his hands.
She says she ignored him even as he did gun signs and told her to wind down her window.

And she claims that when he could not get in through the front he worked his way around her car, trying to get in through her back door.
The terrifying assault came as she was trapped, and could not move forward because she was going onto a busy main road.
And even when the lights changed and she could finally escape he ran in front of her car - trying to stop her getting away.
Speaking on social media, friends rushed to share their horror as they watched the terrifying scene.
One, Patrice Monique, said: 'This made me so angry. This city continues to be exhausting to live in.
'The whole country is a joke. So glad you're okay though'
Another, Samuel James, continued: 'We're living in dangerous times, a good thing is that the door was locked. Stay safe.'
A third, Kya Garwood, added: 'Sorry to hear that. Glad you're safe he is off his head you can see it!!
'Forward it and link in the Mayor of Londonwho has allowed this crime to escalate. The police don't give a damn.'
And Roseanna Brown said: 'I'm so sorry this happened to you but So glad you're safe.
'I hope more people see this video so they stay aware to stay safe too, this shouldn't be a thing that is even happening!!!'
It comes as fresh pressure has been heaped on Mr Khan by the release of yet more grim figures showing another spike in knife and gun related crime last year.
A total of 14,626 knife offences were recorded by police in the capital last year - an average of 40 a day and up by a fifth on 2022.
There was also an increase in gun crime, with 1,208 recorded over 2023 - up by more than 200 compared to the previous year.
Many have laid the blame squarely on Mr Khan, with policing minister Chris Philp blaming a fall in stop and search.
The use of stop and search powers by the Met has reduced by 44 per cent over the last two years, while the number of subsequent arrests is down by 28 per cent.
The Mayor is a critic of the tactic and previously pledged to 'do all in my power to further cut its use' over concerns it targeted ethnic minorities.
The Met and City of London police forces have been contacted for comment.
