Tensions have been building in a Dublin area where two Traveller families have issued several call out videos containing insulting slurs and attacks on different members of each group.
The dangerous feud has escalated recently with footage showing a man in a yellow vest firing two hits at a man who is sitting in the driver's seat of a white car, Dublin Live reports.
The attacker is heard saying "that was you" before the driver replies "I didn't do anything to you".
It is suspected that the conversation between the pair related to comments made about the attacker's father in a previous slam video.
It's at this point when the man swings for the person in the driver's seat, connecting with him twice before he speeds away around the corner.
In further footage viewed by Dublin Live, the attacker is heard saying "I'm a man, come on, come out and fight me" while walking through an estate in the area.
He can also be seen taking his mouth shield in and out of his mouth - an indication that he had come prepared for a bare knuckle brawl.
The video then zooms onto a house where the driver has parked his car outside as the attacker continues to wait for him.
Speaking to the camera, the yellow vested striker introduces himself.
He says: "I'm here. I'm ready to fight" before shadow boxing in the middle of the quiet road and goading the driver to come out.
He continues: "I'm the real deal. Come out and fight me.
"He gave my auld fella cheek. I hit him a couple of clouts and he went running into the house.
"I'll fight for my family. But look at him, he's there in his car.
"I hit him two shots and he went into his hiding bay. I don't give a f***."
A source explained that tensions have been building in the area for weeks and fears that it may end in bloodshed.
They said: "The driver in the car was dissing the attacker's dad and uncle and this incident was in response to that.
"There have been several call-out videos back and forth between the two families containing the usual insults and backs and forths.
"The man in the yellow vest was ready for a fight but the driver decided to take the more sensible option and get away.
"There is a lot of trouble now in the area because of it and it's only a matter of time before blood is shed."
