Shocking moment woman swings SHOVEL at driver in road rage clash as they fight in traffic jam
THIS is the shocking moment that a woman swings a shovel at an angry motorist in a violent road rage clash.
In the video, the furious driver gets out of his car and pushes the woman who had been shouting at him through his vehicle's window, before she fights back with the heavy-duty tool.
The woman tries to pull open the man's car door, while carrying the shovel, as he resists.
Suddenly, he leaps from the vehicle and squares up to her as the shouting continues.
He then pushes her a few times, at which point she fights back by swinging the weapon at his head.
The gardening tool strikes him on the hands as he covers up.
The fight is then broken up as another man, who does not seem to be known to the woman, intervenes on her side.
The woman can be heard repeatedly telling him that the man she had attacked had hit her car more than once.
As the video shows, the second man is quite a bit larger than the first, sending the red-shirted driver scurrying back to the safety of his car.
Another criticised the woman, adding that it's "easy to be brave with a spade in your hand".
However, others saw the funny side, posting a clip of iconic comedy character Ron Burgundy saying "That escalated quickly", which is a popular online joke about fight footage.
