Man Moons Camera And Boasts To Police After Farmer Flips His Car

A topless man mooned and boasted to police officers after a farmer flipped his car. Watch here:

The incident took place near Barnard Castle in County Durham on Saturday (5 June) and police were called to the scene.

Footage shared on Snapchat shows the topless guy telling officers it wasn't his 'first rodeo', before seemingly pulling down his shorts and underpants, exposing his bum.

The video - captioned 'Glad it was just me courtesy car' - shows the farmer flipping a silver car after it reportedly blocked his gate, with the topless fella booting the tractor in protest.

The farmer proceeds to push the car down the road on its side before dumping it and spinning around.

He then drives back to his land over the broken glass and debris, as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

LADbible understands that no arrests have been made.

A Durham Constabulary spokesperson said: "We were alerted to reports of an incident at a farm in the Teesdale area shortly after 5.45pm on June 5.

"Officers attended the scene and an investigation into the circumstances is ongoing."

The dramatic scenes were apparently an escalation of an ongoing row between the farmer and a group of youths, who had previously damaged his property, according to reports.

A source told MailOnline: "The lads had parked their car onto his drive.

"He asked them to move but they didn't seem to want to obey.

"He had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and remove the ruffians from his property himself."

Dairy farmer Mark Nicholson added: "There's a lot more to this story. He's a friend of a colleague - he's been driven mad by these lot starting fires, pushing walls over... just to name a few things.

"Not saying it's right but they pushed him to the end of his tether."

The video was shared on Twitter by Radio 2 host Jeremy Vine, and people have been dishing out their opinions on the barney.

One person said: "There was an easier solution to this, farmer should have chained and padlocked his gate closed.

"Stopping the car from leaving then waited for car owner to knock on his door, he could've then charged him whatever amount to open the gate.

"No court, no lawyer bills."

Another commented: "As satisfying as it is to see someone... get his just desserts, this is definitely criminal damage and perhaps even GBH when he hits him with the vehicle."

While a third disagreed: "I fully condone this. Well done farmer for getting rid of this car in front of his gate."
