Eddie Hall, a retired British strongman turned mixed martial arts specialist, attempted to chase down a moving car after becoming involved in a furious row with motorists parked outside his Staffordshire home.
Video footage circulated on social media showed Hall, 37, who won the World’s Strongest Man competition in 2017, swearing at the driver of a blue BMW and threatening, ‘I’ll twist your f***ing head off’ as the car pulled away.
The video was captured by the driver of a second car waiting nearby, who complained that Hall’s angry outburst had scared his daughter.
Hall, who stands 6ft 2in and is nicknamed ‘the Beast’, weighed in at almost 24 stone for his professioanl mixed martial arts debut against Poland‘s Mariusz Pudzianowski last month, defeating his more experienced opponent inside 30 seconds.
As the two cars pulled away, Hall gave chase and a young child was heard crying in the back seat of the second car.
‘Hey, get out, get out you f**ing p***k,’ Hall is heard screaming. ‘I’ll f***ing rip your head, I’ll twist your f***ng head off. All of you get out, I’ll rip your f***ing head off.’
MailOnline has contacted Hall for comment.

Hall took to social media following publication of the footage to clarify his side of the circumstances surrounding the incident.
‘9pm at night and you and 2 other cars pull up beeping there [sic] horns outside the house,’ he wrote. ‘You woke my young children up and they became very scared!
‘You were asked very politely to leave after waiting outside my house for 15 minutes.
‘You continued to wait outside my house, scaring my kids to death, so here I am asking you again to leave and you filmed the last 30 seconds of our interaction when you’ve been outside the property for a total of 25 minutes.
‘So I asked you all to leave and the blue BMW driver said, and I quote (I’ll knock you out)… so I got angry!’
