Watch one of the most spectacular, poetic exhibitions of road rage ever - CNET

In a video posted to Twitter by the BBC's Amy Woodfield, a bald gentleman is perched on the hood of a Mercedes.

I fear it's not his car.

He does seem upset. Indeed, he punches the vehicle.

This doesn't seem to deter the driver.

After a few hefty punches from the short-tempered man in shorts, the car begins to roll.

The rager, on his knees, appears to attempt a conversation with the driver. One that doesn't involve flattery, I suspect.

Neither Woodfield nor the Leicestershire Police responded to a request for comment.

The police did, however, issue a statement reported by the Telegraph.

It read, in part: "A man had been seen trying to break the windscreen of a car and cause damage to other vehicles in the road. A number of officers were deployed to the scene where a man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and assault."

Naturally, one wonders what caused this extreme reaction. Was the disagreement perhaps political in nature?
