This is the shocking moment a Thai builder went on a wrecking spree with an excavator after his boss refused to let him have time off.

Rungnirand Songsarn, 42, had been working for eight consecutive days and was furious that he could not go see his wife and children in another town.

The outraged worker sparked panic when he blocked an entire road with the excavator while attacking passing cars on December 6 in Pathum Thani, Thailand.

Shocking footage shows how he went on a rampage and destroyed cars by using the heavy machinery to swing the bucket at them.

Nong Suea Police Station officers responded after the residents called them for help in stopping the crazed worker and cornered the backhoe on the road leading to the market.

Colonel Chakkrit Chalongnern said even his patrol car was wrecked when he tried to block the worker's way.

He said: "We pursued him but he was defiant and blocked the road. He used the bucket to hit the cars as they passed."

The man flung a police truck into the river after it was left by the officers to block his way.

Soon after, the police had to shoot the excavator truck to prevent it from doing more damage.

Onlooker Adul Konsuansrai recorded the man shouting: ''I want to go back home and see my kids, and I can’t do that.''

After much persuading officers talked him down from the digger and immediately took samples of his urine for drug testing which turned out to have a purple colour.

Rungnirand was taken to the police station while charges of theft and damage to other people's property were prepared against him.
