The fight escalated between two men in a Mercedes Estate and a pedestrian in Acton, west London, on January 11.
At the beginning of the video, the driver’s friend appears to be returning to his car when the pedestrian, dressed in a white T-shirt and blue sweatpants, makes a lewd gesture.
The pedestrian then returns and appears to spit at the two men as they face off.
The passenger attempts to dramatically kick the pedestrian, while the driver of the Mercedes tries to defuse the situation.
The pedestrian throws a punch at the driver, before ripping the windshield wiper off the Mercedes and brandishing it like a weapon.
Another man, apparently a friend of the pedestrian, joins in. As he does so, the driver appears to take a hammer out of the trunk of his car.
When he returns, the pedestrian lashes the driver with his own windshield wiper.
But soon his friend grabs him tight and holds him down, while the driver puts his hammer back in the car and drives away.
Later, the man in sweatpants took the garbage bag full of clothing seen strewn across the street to a nearby laundromat.
A young woman who watched the fight unfold said: “I heard a commotion outside, which is not unusual in the area, but it went on for a long time, so I went to look.” There was a man fighting two guys in a car.
“All the traffic had stopped, he ripped the wiper off the back of the car and then some guy pulled out a hammer, it was very dramatic.”
“When the wiper came on I thought ‘now it’s gone a step further’, and I was wondering if someone had called the police.”
‘It was worse when the guy pulled the hammer out of his boot.

“Before that it was typical road rage in London, but when the hammer came out I was a bit worried.”
The guy in the blue sweatpants had a garbage bag full of clothes. I didn’t see how it ended up on the road, but it was everywhere.
“I saw him about 20 minutes later at the laundromat two stores down, just doing laundry.
“A stranger or friend helped you pack your clothes into your bag and then you went about your day.”
Met Police said no crime had been reported.
