A bus driver took a swing at a motorist after the bus ripped the driver's van door off its hinges as road rage took hold.
A passerby caught the confrontation on camera as the driver of the number 56 bus, which normally travels between Whipps Cross and St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, got up from his seat.
The driver of the van, which is now missing its door, approaches the bus but the driver appears to throws a punch towards him.
Bystanders who witnessed the incident rush to the man’s defence and scold the bus driver for colliding with the van and ripping off its door.
The bus driver tries to justify taking the man’s car door off its hinges shouting: “I told him three times to move!”
A road argument ensues between the bus driver and other motorists as the incident brings the traffic on the road to a standstill.
A Transport for London spokeswoman said: “We take a zero-tolerance approach to violence and aggression on our network and are urgently investigating this with the operator, Stagecoach.”
Back in October last year stunned parents dialled 999 after a man was seen with a swinging a machete on the school run.
The attack took place outside school gates while parents were dropping off their children in Dudley.
Footage captured by a shocked mum shows a man taking the weapon and banging it on the vehicle's bonnet before smashing the windscreen of a car.
The healthcare worker said her partner, who was driving, had initially asked the driver of a van to slow down when he sped around a sharp corner.
Seconds later the van driver's passenger carried out the unprovoked attack that was captured on camera.
