A raging muscleman was caught on camera nearly knocking out a man half his size in a late-night attack.
The bearded, tattooed brute appeared to take an instant dislike to his victim’s hat during the confrontation.
Footage shows him pointing at the man’s multicoloured headwear while aggressively hurling insults.

He then turned on another onlooker, swiping a camera out of their hands while shouting abuse.
But when the man in the hat, who was wearing a lanyard, tried to step in, the larger man lashed out with a left hook to his chin.
The punch sent the smaller victim crashing to the ground as the aggressor stormed off still ranting.
The clip has racked up 1.2 million views and nearly 8,000 likes online.
Some viewers compared the attacker to Bluto from the Popeye cartoon.
The incident happened in Leeds, West Yorkshire, as reported by Need To Know.
People watching the footage were left appalled.
One said: “Remove alcohol out of the situation and this clip wouldn’t exist.”
Another added: “I hope this guys OK, and I hope roidman gets whats coming to him.”
While a third said: “I hope that poor man is ok.”
And a fourth added: “I’ve often wondered what Bluto was up to after the highly successful Popeye cartoons came to an end.”
