A dramatic scene unfolded on Old Ford Road in Bethnal Green, east London, when road rage took a physical turn.

Footage of the altercation quickly caught the attention of locals, who couldn’t help but draw comparisons to the dramatic moments of EastEnders.

The Confrontation Unfolds

The tension started with a heated argument between two men that soon escalated into a physical fight.

One of the men, dressed in a hi-vis jacket and trousers, attempted to use a martial arts move to take his opponent down, sweeping his leg out from under him.

His rival, wearing a black coat, grabbed onto the other man’s clothing as they grappled in the street.

Chaos on the Road

The fight took place with a white flat-bed truck and a moped blocking the road, as the two men exchanged blows.

As the altercation continued, one of the men shouted, “Come on then,” while both took swings at each other.

At one point, one of them yelled, “He spat on me,” prompting bystanders to step in and try to deescalate the situation.

Locals Respond with Mixed Reactions

News of the incident quickly spread on social media, with local residents reacting in shock.

One observer commented, “Much better than using knives and machetes to sort out their argument.”

Another remarked, “A good old-fashioned English scene.

Two local men have a bare-knuckle fight to settle their differences.”

Some even joked, calling it “real life EastEnders,” while one quipped, “Should’ve put his hips into that sweep.”
