- Melbourne road rage incident caught on camera
- Towering man chased away by a much shorter man
An imposing man who stopped traffic in the middle of a busy intersection and stood on top of a car taunting other motorists, was chased away by an irate driver almost half his size.
The footage shows a tall man dressed in black and wearing socks and sandals arguing with three others on Melbourne’s Lygon Street in Carlton in front of shocked onlookers who plead for them to stop.
It’s unclear how the altercation began, but a heated exchange broke out at a red light and the group appears to have gotten out of their vehicles in the famed Italian restaurant strip.
After storming the traffic island, the man in black scuffles with motorists before a witness throws water at them.
Meanwhile, an older woman can be heard yelling from the side of the street for most of the video telling them to “grow up.”
In the midst of the chaos, the man in black jumps on the hood of a white Volkswagen before hitting a man.
He then goes down and begins to engage him, before a much shorter man in shorts and a T-shirt charges forward, forcing him to quickly back into the intersection.
The video was posted on Facebook with the caption: ‘Is that Iron Mike(?)’, a reference to former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.
