He pulled over close to the road’s Porsche car showroom with the intention of going to help her but came under attack from two men.

They smashed the windscreen of his red Toyota Auris and then assaulted him and stole his mobile phone.

The attackers left the scene in what was described as a “powerful” silver-coloured car.

The victim managed to make his way to Tong Road in Armley, where he found a phone box and dialled 999.

He received treatment in intensive care for serious head and face injuries and is continuing to recover in hospital.

Officers have also recovered a grey Jaguar X-type car that is undergoing forensic examination.
