+WARNING: CONTAINS OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE+

This is the moment an off-duty Sussex Police officer wrestles to the ground a motorist who had launched into a foul-mouthed rage and punched another driver.

The video, captured on October 3 on the A27 Sompting bypass in Worthing, Sussex, shows the man assaulting another driver, who is inside a car, through the window of the vehicle.

It was filmed by a friend and colleague of the driver being assaulted.

Off-duty Sussex Police officer Detective Constable Seb Day appears and forcibly detains the man.

After a long tug of war detective Constable Seb Day manages to stop the man by hurling him to the ground until an officer arrives at the scene.

According to a court report in the local newspaper, the details of which have been confirmed by Sussex Police to Newsflare, the offender was named as Martin Perryman, 62, of Beeches Avenue, Broadwater.

He was given a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and fined.

According to the report, he also admitted using threatening words or behaviour likely to cause distress and resisting a police constable.

A witness in the video say a little girl was in the Land Rover.

Writes the filmer: ''We were driving along towards Worthing probably going a bit slow for the t*** in the Land Rover behind, and next thing this angry man is leaning through the window yelling "c**t" because we were going a bit slow."

''Fists are flying, with my guy trying to defend himself from the driver's seat. Then the angry t**ser drops his sunglasses into the car, so more scrapping 'til he gets them back. ''

''Suddenly there's a cop on the scene, who happened to see it all go down whilst driving home from doing whatever cops do, and got stuck in, bless him. (He) can't believe he's a cop and kicks off.''

''In the end the man has to be turned over by the helpful motorists who got involved, because he clearly was not well - in his thick head he knew he was the victim all the way through.''
