A video emerged online showing an elderly man destroying a rubbish bin and a bus stop sign, appearing as though he was fighting the inanimate objects.
He was seen at the start of the video “confronting” the bus stop sign, swinging his arms and having a staredown with the sign.
He then proceeded to charge at the sign and punch it, before turning around to face his other opponent, this time a rubbish bin.
The rubbish bin was seen in the video to have been toppled, as the old man then picked it up and let the rubbish fall out of it.
The rubbish bin was then seen broken into two parts before he then threw the top half of the bin onto the side as it rolled away.
