Must have been something in the rain tonight - I have a surprisingly similar story.
I was coming down Essex Road, and what looked like a van slamming on its brakes whilst swerving into the curb caught my eye as I passed a side street. Looped back on myself and found the van driver out of his vehicle squaring up to a ped.
Ped claimed that the van driver had nearly knocked him off by driving dangerously fast/carelessly, van driver was pissed off cos the ped had allegedly thrown something at his van in retaliation.
Van driver was making it quite clear what he'd do to the ped, and how lucky he was that I was about to stop him doing it. Ped wasn't having any of this and kept antagonising the driver, and they were both getting more and more irate.
Ended up I think with the ped legging it and the van driver doing a very aggressive three point turn and then telling/asking me to follow him?
All very confusing.
