Ali Fashakh confronted the men outside his home in Gledhow, Leeds, but backed away as he feared "one of them was about to strike me".

He said it was the second time the vehicle had been targeted in a month.

Mr Fashakh said the first theft took place in March, when a neighbour chased three men away from his wife's Toyota Prius.

However, he said when he checked the next day the device had gone, adding: "I am not sure if they came back later that night when we were asleep."

The vehicle was targeted again on 21 April.

Mr Fashakh said he heard a noise and looked out of the window to see three men surrounding the car.

He said: "They all had iron rods in their hands, so I shouted at them then ran downstairs and confronted them. One of them was about to strike me, so I backed away at that point."

Mr Fashakh managed to film the men on his mobile phone and passed the footage (pictured above), to West Yorkshire Police, though no arrests have been made.

The Wars of the Roses, some of the most notorious battles to have taken place in British history, were a series of civil wars for the throne of England between the House of York and the House of Lancaster, both members of the royal Plantagenet family.

Between 1455 and 1487 England was torn apart by a series of violent struggles for the throne.

The period witnessed the deposition of three kings, and the violent death of two of them, in a series of bloody battles which became known as the Wars of the Roses.

They were closed on 3 April following a number of suicides at the 1.4 mile-long bridge.

Labour MP Emma Hardy said the Humber Bridge Board had told her the paths on either side would be open between 05:00 and 21:00 every day.

Pedestrians and cyclists who want to cross outside these hours would be "required to register with the bridge beforehand", the MP added.

"The Humber Bridge is an iconic and beautiful structure, loved by many and I know how upset people were when the walkway had to close," she said.

"I will continue to meet with the Humber Bridge Board regularly to monitor progress in the development of physical safety measures, such as barriers, and keep everyone updated."

The BBC has contacted the board for a response.
