He had apparently been assaulted by two men at the junction of Alum Rock Road and Highfield Road in an unprovoked attack while he waited at traffic lights in his car.
The men had punched him through the open window, according to West Midlands Police.
When the victim retaliated against the men, who were pulled up beside him, one of them went to retrieve the saw from his boot.
