This is the moment a burly driver decks two men with just one punch in a Russian road-rage incident.
The startling scene was recorded near a Shell petrol station on Nagibina street in the city of Rostov-on-Don in south-western Russia’s Rostov Oblast region by a surveillance camera.
In the video, a Lada Priora can be seen pulling into the side of the road followed by a Niva 4WD. The driver and passenger of the Priora step out of the car and walk towards the Niva, whose driver also gets out of his vehicle.
The pair from the Priora stand either side of the burly 4WD driver and appear to argue with him. The Niva driver then suddenly throws a huge punch, connecting with both men in their faces and sending them crashing to the ground.
A female passenger in the Niva gets out and walks towards her companion who continues fighting the two men as they get tot heir feet.
A young boy then runs out of the 4WD as one of the Priora pair punches the man in red. Onlookers and staff from the garage then come to calm the trio down.
Reports state the Niva driver was eventually calmed down and drove away from the scene.
Netizen ‘picachu’ said: “Why did he stop the car? He could have continued driving. Nobody made him pull up by the petrol station.”
And ‘Bykanov.2015’ added: “One of the good things about the Niva driver is that he is a tough guy. One of the bad things about him, is that he can easily get convicted for his actions.”
It is unclear if the police are investigating the incident.
