Speaking to MS News, the man claimed that he was standing outside a 7-Eleven when the driver involved hit the parked car next to him, before allegedly driving off erratically.
The man said he gave chase, repeatedly telling the driver to get out. Eventually, the car struck a kerb and came to a stop.
His window was down, so I unlocked his door and dragged him out of the car.
In the video, the furious driver aggressively confronted the man. He yelled incoherently and repeatedly pointed at both himself and the man.
“Bro, touch me [and] I’ll spin your f*cking jaw. Do you understand?” the man warned him.

He told MS News that he stayed to make sure the driver didn’t get back into the car and leave.
The man then checked with a bystander whether the police had been called, as the driver became more agitated.
He began yelling even louder and repeatedly jabbed a finger in the direction of the man.
They briefly came into physical contact, with the man warning the driver not to touch him.

He then ordered the driver to sit down on the footpath.
“I don’t want to sit down, so?” the driver angrily replied. “You call the police now!”
The man told him that the police were on their way, repeated the order to sit down, and then insulted his appearance.

After a brief silence, the driver yelled more profanities.
The man told MS News that the driver knocked the phone into his face, so he “immediately pushed him in the chest”.
The camera shook for a brief moment before showing the red-shirted driver tumbling onto the ground.

According to the post’s description, the man pushed him over and restrained him until the police arrived 15 minutes later.
“At one point, I was holding both of his arms by the sides of his body to keep them down. It was like dealing with a misbehaving child,” he told MS News.

The man initially assumed the driver was drunk.
He didn’t even know where he was, it was obvious to me that he shouldn’t be driving
However, he later noticed that the driver was holding what appeared to be a vape in one hand during the argument and suspected him of using it.
