Shocking footage has captured the moment when an owner of a car racing company became involved in a heated argument with neighbours.

His friend’s teenage sons were then walking home when a resident chased them down the street believing they were trying to break into his home.

Mr Stone claims the children were aggressively threatened before the motor racing team owner, his wife and the teens’ parents tried to intervene.
Footage captured that evening shows tensions boiling over as the neighbor is confronted on his doorstep.
In the video, a woman can be seen holding a pole and prompting the neighbor to yell back. ‘You’re picking up a pole, aren’t you? Are you going to fucking hit me?’ he said.
‘Get off my property c***. What the hell are you going to do? I’ll take all four of you.’
Mr Stone released a statement shortly after the video was shared.
“The children’s parents went to visit the man and my wife was pushed and abused and fell to the ground,” he said.
“The man then started filming us and was very abusive. I held out my hand to prevent the man from filming us.
At no point were there any punches from either side. This neighborhood quarrel is regrettable.’
A Queensland Police spokeswoman confirmed there was a scuffle between the two sides.
“The resident returned inside after the altercation and the parents left. No one was injured in the incident,” she said.
No complaints have been received by the police.
