A road rage row broke out on a Surrey high street on Friday
The Mercedes driver appeared to shove a woman off her mobility scooter
The woman screams: “You’re not supposed to park here, you’re in my path here, f**k off you f***ing w***er.”
The mobility scooter driver, dressed in a hoodie and jogging bottoms then slaps the top of the black German car before driving into the rear bumper and boot of the motor.
This appears to anger the driver who opens his door and begins to struggle with the woman who has met him at the driver’s door this time due to her diversion.
He steps out of his vehicle dressed in a white t-shirt and black shorts and at full height begins to overpower the lady. The man then topples the mobility scooter over, leaving the helpless woman to crash onto the pavement slabs below.
The footage, shared on social media, has led to a furious debate
The stricken woman calls the driver ‘a pompous arse’
The woman seems taken aback before apparently noticing youngsters walking nearby, as she asks the man: “Are you staring at kids?”
However, despite her predicament the woman lands another verbal blow pointing at the man as she says: “You f***ing w***er, are you staring at kids? Get off the f***ing road.”
The driver then leans out of his window replying: “You’re f***ing drunk and you shouldn’t be on that [mobility scooter], you lazy f***ing c**t. “
The video comes to a close as the Mercedes driver takes off down the street towards Massetts Road in Horley.
The woman yells: “You are such a pompous arse.” The video was shared online on Friday with the caption: “Cannot believe this happened in Horley.”

The clip has since gained over 490 likes and more than 700 comments from people quick to debate over the shocking scenes, saying both individuals were in the wrong. One said: “She’s wrong and he isn’t right.”
Another added: “No one comes off well out of this sadness.”
A third alleged: “She was in the chicken shop moments before this happened, being abusive to the staff and swearing in front of young children. Let that sink in before some of you rush to defend her.”
Another replied: “I don’t know what’s worse…the event itself or the town continuing as normal and not helping. I’m in disbelief.”
A fifth reasoned: “Both in the wrong but a clear case of assault and fact no one helped her.”
Another commented: “Looks like he is protecting his property and defending himself. Illegally parked or not, looked like she started and provoked it.”
