However, neither appears brave enough to land a single blow as the pensioner decides ultimately to walk away.

The homeowner who witnessed the intense standoff recalled: “I returned to my complex at around 7am.

“At the entrance I saw the security guard arguing with a homeowner. The resident wanted to leave and had asked the guard to open the gate for him.

“The guard must have been too slow to react, so the homeowner scolded him, and they started quarrelling.
