Videos emerged online of several men standing and jumping on the car in Old Market Square.

She told the Post: "I just keep seeing all these videos and the attack on the car and I think it is disgusting.

"I want to show the driver that there are some decent people out there and they all want to support him.

"The men that did it are just a minority. It was supposed to be a celebration - what sort of celebration is that by smashing up someone's livilhood."

Chelsea, who is registered disabled due to spine problems, said she only wants to reach £500 to help with anything he needs while off work.
