Moment man stands punching side of van before vicious brawl breaks out in ‘road rage’ incident during rush hour

This is the shocking moment when a man slammed into the side of a van before a vicious brawl during the evening rush hour.

The road rage incident took place on Old Kent Road, south east London, at around 5.42pm on Tuesday 15th August.

Video footage showed vehicles beeping loudly before a shirtless man began viciously and repeatedly hitting the side of a white van.

Before long the door swung open and the driver ran out to get into a brawl with the man and another.

At one point, four men appeared to be fighting each other before the driver got back into his van and drove off.

Before long, the van driver stopped the vehicle and ran outside to get into a brawl with the man and another person following him.

Other motorists began yelling at the robbery, while a man appeared to throw an object — possibly a shoe — into the distance.

It is not clear what caused the incident, in which a man suffered an injured hand.

No arrests have been reported and the case is now closed, police said.

The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: ‘Police were called to Old Kent Road at about 5:42pm on Tuesday 15 August following reports of an incident on the road involving two men.

A man sustained an injury to his hand as a result of the incident. He refused to talk to the police.

The other party remains unknown. The case is closed.’

The incident follows a spate of other road rage incidents in London earlier this year in which drivers lashed out at other motorists during heated altercations.

Earlier this month, an angry bus driver and motorist were filmed having a foul-mouthed argument in front of bewildered passengers.

The footage, captured in Harrow on the Hill, west London, showed a bus driver and an owner of a £30,000 Audi A3 arguing as his car appeared to be blocking the road.

After exchanging a few blows, the other man restrains the shirtless motorist and tries to lead him away from the van driver

The van driver then appeared to throw at an object — possibly a shoe — in the distance

The shirtless man was able to get away from two other men who stopped him from reconnecting with the driver

But the driver of the van had already returned to his vehicle and started to drive away

The Audi owner can be seen yelling under the bus driver’s window, before walking back to his vehicle to shout ‘move your car!’

But he hit back and furious, “You risked my life. And the lives of the people on the bus are in danger.’

The single-decker replies: ‘Go and report it.’ The Audi motorist says: ‘F*ck you p*ick.’

A passenger on the bus can be heard talking on his phone saying, “It all begins.”

After a fierce exchange of words, the bus finally manages to squeeze past the Audi, when a passenger hears ‘Oh my God’ say.

In July, a citizen filmed the shocking moment when a man decided to push a woman off her scooter during a heated argument.

The altercation broke out between the pair on the high street in Horley, Surrey.

An argument broke out after the woman on the scooter appeared to disagree with the fact that the Mercedes driver drove his car into what appears to be a largely pedestrianized area of ​​the city centre.

The woman can be heard yelling into the man’s passenger window after being forced to change her direction into the parking spot chosen by the motorist.

After being angered by the woman, the driver overturns her scooter, causing the helpless woman to crash onto the curb slabs below before driving away.

In another shocking incident, a man can be seen dragging a women’s scooter on the ground

In another incident earlier this year, a London traffic altercation turned ugly when rival drivers fought in the street in front of other shocked motorists.

It’s unclear what triggered the vicious altercation between the men – both of whom quickly drove off after the fight.

Speaking to MailOnline, a witness – who preferred to remain anonymous – described his surprise when he saw the two men risk their lives by wrecking on the busy A-road.

In the strange video, a man in a black fleece pushed a man in a gray tracksuit against a white van.

The other man fought back, pushing the man off and back onto the road where the brawl continued to the bewilderment of the drivers.

After this, the two men simmered and raised their chests to each other – each waiting for the other to make the next move.

When neither does, both men appear to cool off and return to their vehicles – with one only stopping to pick up his broken glasses.
