Two men had a road rage row in the middle of a busy street which was compared to a scene out of EastEnders.

One tried to take down the other with a martial arts move.

A moped was seen on its side in the middle of the road as the pair came to blows.

One of the duo – clad in hi-vis trousers and jacket – held his rival’s clothes as they grabbed.

The other – wearing dark clothing – did the same.

They both took a swing at each other and one said: “Come on then.”

A white, flat-bed truck was also blocking Old Ford Road, in Bethnal Green, east London yesterday (16 Jan).

It was compared to a real-life scene out of BBC soap EastEnders.

Other men intervened to try and calm them down.

A white cab tried to squeeze by the truck and the scooter blocked the way.

One of the men said: “He spat on me as well.

“He spat on me.”

The guy in the hi-vis then tried to trip the other sweeping his legs from under him.

The one-minute-and-thirty-second video filmed by a stunned onlooker then came to an end, as reported on Need To Know.

Locals reacted with shock at the road rage row.

One said: “Much better than using knives and machetes to sort out their argument.”

“Two local men have a bare-knuckle to settle their differences.”

Another joked: “Real life ‘EastEnders’ scenes.”

A fourth quipped: “Should’ve put his hips into that sweep.”
