This is the moment an enraged driver smashes the windshield of a minibus with a hammer before fighting with the female and elderly passengers outside.
The road rage attack happened in Omsk, Russia, on Monday, 25th August.
Video filmed at the scene shows the man holding the hammer and swinging it into the glass several times as shards fly towards the passengers inside.
He then opens the door of the minibus and threatens the driver while continuing to shout aggressively.
Police said the minibus had been travelling from the village of Kharlamovo to Omsk when a Lada Granta in front suddenly stopped.
The driver of the minibus said he had tried to overtake but was then pursued by the Lada driver who blocked his path and attacked the vehicle with the hammer.
Witnesses told officers that the man struck the windscreen five times while making threats before getting into a fight with the minibus driver.
The hammer-wielding man claimed his car had been hit during the overtaking manoeuvre, but traffic police found no traces of a collision.
Both drivers were sent for medical examinations after the attacker was suspected of being drunk.
The amount of damage to the minibus is still being assessed.
Police are investigating the incident.
