A cold-hearted hooligan ran up to a sleeping homeless man and taunted him with an air horn in front of a group of yobs in Leeds.

In the clip, which shows the moment he torments the rough sleeper with the loud-sounding pneumatic device, the man sneaks towards him holding the horn.

Moments later he leans in and blasts the horn down his ear, leaving the homeless man to jump back in shock while the yob laughs with his friends.

A group of bystanders who were passing as the event unfolded shouted 'it's not funny' as the thugs continued to joke about the prank.

According to statistics from September 2018, six people had lost their lives on the streets of Leeds in the previous 18 months and there were eight rough sleepers considered to be at 'high risk', due to suffering with complex medical conditions. 

However despite these risks the number of people sleeping in parks, alleyways and on public transport has continued to rise in the city.

A homeless man was found dead days after being sprayed with red paint after he ended up on the streets after being forced to leave his council house when his beloved mother died from cancer, MailOnline revealed in September.

Michael Cash, 32, fell in with the wrong crowd in and 'lost his way' through drugs and crime, his aunt said.

His heart-rending story was told by family members still reeling from the cruelty inflicted on a 'harmless, kind, gentle soul' by a sneering attacker on September 9.

Images of Michael sitting on the ground spattered by paint - fired at him from a Supersoaker water gun - caused outrage in his home town of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, and across the country when it went viral online. He was found dead three days later.
