A hapless troublemaker trapped his fingers in his own car door in a bungled bid to drive away from the police.
The vexed man climbed into his hatchback while being berated by a pair of traffic officers.
After getting into the driver’s seat, he tried to close the door, but one of the officers held it open.

He climbed back out the car and gave her colleague a shove in the chest, causing him to shuffle backwards.
The woman could be heard telling him sternly: “You can’t take it. Stop pushing. You can’t take it.”
The man got back in the car, put his hand over the top of the door, and slammed it shut with an audible thud.
The person filming then turned to show the excruciating sight of his digits caught between the door and the frame.
Seconds passed and he was apparently unable to free his crushed hand, as reported by Need To Know.
Local media say the officers may have stopped the man because he was parked in a restricted area.
The clip, believed to have been filmed in the Caribbean region of Colombia, was shared on social media on Sunday (2 Mar).

Another commented: “Man, if I were the cop, I don’t know how I wouldn’t just burst out laughing at that moment.”
And a fifth wrote: “Post the full video, we want to see the screams of pain.”
