A delivery man for online supermarket Ocado has been sacked after he headbutted a bus driver in a road rage row that was caught on camera.
Footage of the altercation was taken by a witness on a mobile phone and also captures the Ocado driver saying: 'Shut the f*** up before I smack you in the face.'
He then squares up to his 43-year-old victim after apparently hitting a bus and damaging a wing mirror outside Brent Knoll School in Forest Hill, London.
The video shows him twice aiming a headbutt at the bus driver before walking off.
He had first tried to push the camera away before accusing the eyewitness and bus driver of trying to intimidate him by saying 'you've lost your job'.
The Ocado driver can be heard repeatedly swearing and making threats before telling the bus driver: 'Do you think I'm intimidated by you?' as he squares up to him.
After being headbutted, the bus driver can be heard to saying 'I think I'm bleeding' before phoning police.
The victim, who did not wish to be named, told The Sun Online: 'The Ocado driver hit our vehicle as we were parked up.
'He got out of his vehicle and came to pick up his broken mirror off the floor then went to drive away so I had to rush to stop him and try to get his details.
'You can see he was quite frustrated by this, so I got my phone out to record in case he did try to leave.'
A spokesman for Ocado said: 'We were made aware of an incident involving one of our drivers and after investigating the matter the employee has been dismissed.
'We expect our employees to uphold the highest possible standards and in this instance our employee has not done so and we apologise for this.'
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the force was investigating an allegation of assault after a man was struck in the face following a road accident on Tuesday at around 2.45pm.
But he said the victim was 'not physically injured', no arrests had yet been made and that enquiries were continuing.
