A ‘rogue Superman’ was spotted smashing up a new toll booth with a group of vigilante pals.

They threw the cabins into a nearby ravine.

Residents first targeted the toll booth in February when it was burned to the ground in a firebomb attack.

After temporary booths were installed last week and tolls were being collected again, vigilante locals took action.

They claim that the tollhouse is “equivalent to theft” and has not improved infrastructure or services in the 15 years it has been in operation.

They also claimed that the toll booth has paralysed the local tourism sector for years.

One resident said: “This is an abuse, an outrage.

“The community does not benefit at all from this toll, which has been in place for over 15 years.

“Only the company profits from this, and we don’t want it anymore.”

The La Parada toll was set up on National Route 70 near the Colombian town of Villa del Rosario, which borders with Venezuela.

On 15 March, outraged locals descended on the area to protest the resumption of tolls following last month’s bomb attack.

Led by a protester wearing a Superman costume, the group destroyed the temporary booths because they are “an unfair payment that is equivalent to theft”.

They also chanted “no more tolls, no more tolls”.

A clip showed the caped crusader pushing one cabin to the side of the road in the company of other fuming locals.

According to reports, the vigilantes’ campaign has the support of local mayor Camilo Suárez who arrived on the scene to echo their calls for an end to the toll.

He said he is currently in dialogue with Governor William Villamizar Laguado about eliminating the charge, as reported by Need To Know.
