Cops have now launched a manhunt for the driver who allegedly hauled him from the backseat of the SUV and tossed him out on the pavement.

The left side of his face had also sustained a deep 10cm slash.

The wounds were so deep that blood still flowed through the bandage that emergency responders put on.
