'I jumped out of the car and started walking towards him and I got about six or seven metres from him.'

Michael, 48, added: 'And you could smell poo!'

Tony, who is a father of four, continued: 'He looked at me and he just said 'I am not a World Champion boxer'.

'Then my wife got out, and she said 'stop, stop, stop it' and I said 'no, he told us to pull over so I've pulled over'. 

'He was a bully and there's nothing worse in life than a bully.

'He expected the small little man to get out of the car.'
