Mercedes driver kicks open bus door to abuse driver during road rage

This is the moment a Mercedes driver kicked open the door of a bus to abuse the driver in a shocking road rage attack.

Captured on video, the thug is seen taking off his shirt to try and intimate the driver as the public walk past on the London street.

The footage shows the red double-decker packed with passengers - including parents with young children- who were forced to flee while the driver raged on.

The motorist, wearing a creme shirt, stopped his black Mercedes in front of the Number 474 service. 

He booted the automatic door which was locked then forced it open with his hands.

The yob then rowed with the driver who was sitting in his cab behind a screen.

The video then shows the road rage lout taking off his cream shirt and walking around with a black vest on.

He then got back into his car and drove off as the one minute and 19 second video filmed by an onlooker came to an end.

The shocking incident on High Street, East Ham, east London, on Monday (4 Nov).

Locals were quick to slam and mock the road rage yob.

Jason Reid fumed: 'In front of his kids as well.

'Should be banned for life.'

One - named Loula - said: 'Oooh you're hard in your Primark vest.'

Kevin added: 'What's with the vest?

'What a tool. Watched too many mafia films.'

Another joked: 'He took his shirt off like he was expecting there to be muscles under it.'

Tassos said: 'Why people nowadays are so angry all the time and they are just looking for fights?

'What is wrong with this world?'

James Cox added: 'Shame that bus driver couldn't have closed the doors to lock him inside then called the bill.'

Robert King said: 'Just an average day in London.'

It happened just yards from where two men had a machete fight in the street last month, as reported on NeedToKnow.

The Met and TfL have been approached for comment.
