Driver choked through car window in road rage row after refusing to reverse to let woman park Land Rover Discovery

THIS is the shocking moment a furious man appears to grab a driver by the throat after he refused to move out of the way so his partner could park her Land Rover Discovery.

Stephen Russell was driving through a village near Kingsbridge, Devon, in August when he pulled up behind the white car  trying to park outside a cottage.

While the driver tried to manoeuvre into the space, a man directing her can be seen asking  taxi driver Stephen if he could back his car up to make more room.

But Stephen shouts back: “If she can’t get in there, she shouldn’t be driving.”

He then shouts: “F***ing hell”.

As the female motorist continues to struggle with parking, her male guide walks over to Stephen and can be heard saying: “I asked you nicely, move your f***ing car back”.

Stephen asks the man where his mask is and to “keep six feet away” before repeating that the driver in front was “ridiculous” and she “shouldn’t be bloody driving”.

The video then jumps to show the view from inside Stephen’s car, as another man’s hand appears to grab his neck.

After Stephen points out his dashcams, the man seems to let go as Stephen yells that he will be contacting police.

Devon & Cornwall Police said they had no record of a report being made on the date of the incident.

The man then walks off, back to the cottage.

But when Steven does drive off, he is again stopped by the Land Rover –  which is now turning around in the road ahead of him again, much to his delight.

Stephen uploaded both his front and back facing footage to social media with the caption: “Do we need people in their Chelsea tractor that can NOT drive in Devon.”

Some commenters praised Steven for keeping his cool while others questioned why he could not have been a “gentleman” and just reversed so that the woman did not feel so “under pressure”.

Stephen said took to the comments to say he had “been driving for 37 years” including “tractors with trailers full of bales”.

Steven said: “In my judgement it was a simple parallel parking manoeuvre and she had plenty of space to do.

“I said nothing until he started waving his arms and barking orders at me and in less than two minutes he had me by the throat which I felt was a bit unacceptable.

When approached, Stephen declined to comment on the footage, saying it was “done and dusted.”
