As reported earlier, hooligans have attacked Algeria's team bus prior to the north African nation's clash with rivals Egypt in Cairo.
Three players were said to have been injured by rocks thrown at their vehicle, with windows also being smashed amidst the melee.
Now a video of the incident has emerged online, uploaded by the sports site DZFoot.com.
The recording appears to have been made on a mobile phone, and is attributed to veteran forward Rafik Saifi, an Algerian international who formerly served Ajaccio and Lorient before joining Al-Khor of Qatar in the summer.
The footage indicates that a window was smashed before the bus occupants moved off their seats for cover.
While shattered glass is shown, there appears to be no signs of violence outside the bus, hinting that the perpetrators escaped or that the bus sped up to escape them.
There is also a second video, showing injured Algerian player Rafik Halliche of Nacional de Madeira following the squad's safe arrival at their hotel:
