Mohammed Zayad Khan also suffered multiple other injuries, including the partial amputation of his leg, before being left for dead.
Five men and a woman are on trial at Bradford Crown Court.
Prosecuting barrister Stephen Wood KC said no one disputed that on May 11 last year Zayad Khan and his nephew Mohammed Usama Khan were attacked on Tickhill Street in Bradford.
He told Zayad Khan: “No one disputes that you were very seriously injured in that attack.”
As he was brought into a remote location in a wheelchair to speak over a video link, it was clear that Zayad’s left hand was prominently bandaged and strapped.
During more than 90 minutes of witness testimony, Zayad named several men who he said were in three separate vehicles that converged on his VW Tiguan as he and his nephew sat inside.
After two of the cars – a Mitsubishi Shogun and a BMW X3 – rammed into and collided with the Tiguan, Zayad told the court: “I got out and run.”
The trial previously heard how he was chased and caught by men who “relentlessly struck him with heavy bladed weapons” and targeted his head, arms, and legs.
In the flurry of blows, his left arm was severed.
He was then left for dead.
Usama was struck on the back of his neck by what appeared to have been a machete but escaped by climbing into a friend’s car.
Questioned by Mr Wood, Zayad recalled how he saw the Shogun approaching the Tiguan and recognised the driver as Waqqas Khan.
He named the front seat passenger in the Shogun as Rahees Khan, also known to him as “George”.
Zayad said Waqqas Khan was wearing “a black kind of mask” on his forehead that “looked like a rolled-up balaclava” which, he said, meant he could see his face.
He added: “He has got big lips.”
He said he knew Waqqas Khan from a local mosque and had “never had a problem with him” before the Shogun was rammed into the Tiguan.
He said he recognised Rahees Khan as he and Waqqas Khan were related.
He also attended the Masjid Abu Bakar mosque off Leeds Road.
Zayad said prior to the machete attack he had seen Rahees Khan whilst driving on Leeds Road in Bradford, where Rahees Khan had given him “mucky looks”, and later when he said Rahees Khan drove past his house whilst Zayad was sitting in his car outside.
On the night of the attack on Tickhill Street, Zayad said Rahees Khan was wearing “the same black thing on his head — same as the driver [of the Shogun]”.
He said he recognised Waqqas Khan as the driver of the Shogun as it came closer to the Tiguan, and recognised Rahees Khan as the passenger when the Shogun collided with the Tiguan.
He then put the Tiguan into reverse but the impact of being rammed forced the Tiguan “straight back”.
Zayad tried to put the Tiguan in drive in an attempt to manoeuvre away but was then struck by a BMW X3 that “came crashing into my car again” on the passenger side.
He said: “We both were in the car.
The car would not move no more.
It had stopped working.
The engine was moving but it wouldn’t drive.
I had no choice but to get out of the vehicle.”
Asked if he recognised anyone in the BMW, Zayad said: “My eyes locked onto the driver.”
He named him as Hanzalah, who he had seen in local shops and in the same mosque where he had previously seen Waqqas Khan and Rahees Khan.
As Zayad fled the Tiguan and began to run into nearby Seymour Street, he passed a third silver car and saw people inside.
He named one as Adam Takolia, who opened his door as Zayad ran past.
Moments later, the court heard previously, the attack took place.
Zayad suffered multiple wounds to the head with underlying skull fractures plus wounds to all four limbs with fractures.
His left hand, recovered from the scene, was later re-attached.
The trial previously heard that the attack on Zayad and Usama was in revenge for their suspected involvement in an attack, two months earlier, on a man called Mohammed Rizwan, known as “Rizzy”.
The prosecution said that Rizzy was either related to, or friendly with, the five male defendants in the trial.
Moreover, both Zayad and Usama have been charged with offences related to that assault and await trial.
Mohammed Waqqas Khan, 27, of Folkestone Street, Bradford, Rahees Khan, 42, of no fixed abode but formerly of Granton Street, Bradford, Hanzalah Saladin, 27, of no fixed abode, Bradford, Adam Takolia, 29, of no fixed abode, Bradford, and a fifth man who cannot be named for legal reasons, all deny conspiracy to murder Mohammed Zayad Khan and Mohammed Usama Khan.
In addition, they all deny conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm to both alleged victims.
Alice Dobson, 30, of Nether Hall Road, Baildon, and Rahees Khan deny perverting the course of justice by obtaining and disseminating confidential information held by West Yorkshire Police.
At the time of the attacks Dobson was employed by West Yorkshire Police as a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO).
She is alleged to have accessed confidential material related to the attacks, which she passed on to Rahees Khan and others.
The trial continues.
