It was claimed that three men then got out of the BMW and assaulted the victim before stealing his car keys. It is believed that all those involved are known to each other.
An investigation has been launched into the incident, which left the victim with a broken nose, and Northumbria Police arrested three men – aged 26, 21 and 21 – on suspicion of assault.
They have all since been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
