A heated confrontation unfurled in Worthing, West Sussex, after a driver denied hitting another motorist despite there being scratches on both vehicles.

Footage filmed by James shows the driver of a grey Nissan denying that they were involved in an accident.

"I didn't hit your f***ing car, prove it," the angry motorist is heard saying.

The filmer then explains that the damage on his car is "consistent" with the mark left on the Nissan.

James told Newsflare: "He came right up in my face and was punching his fist into his hand, then goading me trying to get me to hit him. I stood calmly and said I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. From the word go his was lit, so aggressive.

"In the end I asked him to provide his details 'are you going to give me your details?'

"He replied 'No, I don't see why I should'.

"The guy with his shirt off said, 'just go through the insurance company, they will sort it out you have his reg number he can't go anywhere'.

"I said, 'I will do that and he will just deny it'.

"More people started appearing on the street to see what was happening with the raised voices, the aggressor then left went inside, I jumped back in my car and drove home.

"I reported to the police online (they never turned up in the end as that is what we were all waiting for, they said, 'anyone injured?' we said 'no' and they said they were not going to attend).

"I notified my insurance company with the boring admin.

"I posted a link of the video on the Nextdoor app to see if anyone local knew of him and a woman called Caroline mentioned she had run in with him previously."

This video captures a raw and dramatic confrontation in a public car park in Worthing, West Sussex. Two men become embroiled in a heated exchange that escalates rapidly, drawing in both confusion and entertainment from viewers across the internet.

The video opens with one man becoming increasingly aggressive — raising his voice, pacing, and swearing at another man who stands his ground with calm defiance. In an unexpected twist, the aggressive man gets into his grey Nissan, drives a few feet forward, then exits again as though ready to continue the argument in person. The entire encounter is filmed discreetly from a nearby parked car, with background commentary from onlookers adding humour and disbelief to the scene.

Originally posted as a YouTube Short, the video has already racked up over 55,000 views, attracting strong reactions across YouTube and the NextDoor app. Commenters are split — some are intrigued by the angry man’s behaviour and suggest “we’d all have backed off if it was 20 years ago,” while others mock his attitude or even question the video’s authenticity. One user claimed it’s part of a series of staged clips featuring the same men, although no evidence has been provided.

Reactions range from laughter to outrage, with many viewers calling for a sequel or “Part 4.” Others compare the footage to reality TV or viral “public meltdown” clips, adding to the growing popularity of the post. The video’s mix of intensity and absurdity is what makes it so shareable — it feels both uncomfortably real and weirdly performative.
