Fast and the furious: Watch extraordinary moment that driver of £350,000 Lamborghini is forced to push man in wheelchair out of the road after he deliberately blocked his 217mph supercar
- Plumber stumbled across unexpected road exchange while out on lunch
- Involved a red Lamborghini stopped in its tracks by a man in a wheelchair
- Driver left unable to move when wheeled prankster blocks his path
This is the bizarre moment a Lamborghini driver was confronted by a man in a wheelchair who refused to allow him past - by parking himself in the middle of the road.
The unknown man shuffled his way into the carriageway in Gloucester, blocking the path of the red £350,000 Aventador supercar, capable of reaching a top speed of 217mph.
In video footage shot by a bemused onlooker, the wheelchair user prevents the motorist from passing by wheeling directly in front of him.
Confused and annoyed, the irate driver then tries to convince the man to move - beeping his horn repeatedly.
But in the end he is forced to get out of the sports car and wheel the man to the side of the road by hand.
Even then the determined joker continues to try and get back in front of the car. He is eventually restrained by another pedestrian.
The David versus Goliath stand-off was filmed by Joe Haskett, 21, who was returning from a lunch break when he stumbled across the exchange.
The plumber said: 'I was walking back from lunch with a friend to my car, and heard the Lamborghini which was loud, so naturally went to get a picture.
'Then we just noticed the man in the wheelchair slowly pushing himself into the road.
'He was moving back and forth across the road to block the car, which is when the bloke got out and moved him.
'I thought it was hilarious, and just posted it to Facebook there and then.
'I'm not sure what the man in the wheelchair was doing.
'In the video you can hear a passer-by mention that he has done it before.'
The stand off happened in North Gate Street in Gloucester on Tuesday, and Joe's video has been viewed more than 200,000 times since he uploaded it to Facebook.

It has since emerged that the car was hired from Platinum Executive Travel, which is based in Birmingham, and owned by Instagram celebrity 'Lord' Aleem Iqbal - famous for his fleet of expensive supercars.
It was being driven by his PR executive friend and manager, Mark Brewer.
Both men have since shared the video online, with Iqbal commenting: 'When my manager @mark_brewer2 is rolling through in the AV and some guy in a wheelchair decides to long his journey.'
Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Brewer said: 'We do a lot of charity work with the cars, and I was out in Gloucester when this happened. As you can imagine, the cars draw huge attention everywhere they go, so we're always happy to pull up and let kids have a photo with them, or hear the engines roar.
'I think the guy in the wheelchair had had a bit to drink when he stopped me. He'd tried blocking me a couple of times but failed. The one time I ended up going down a dead end, he's wheeled himself into the middle of road.
