Former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall has been caught on camera furiously chasing a car and threatening passengers after a street row near his home. The 23-stone strongman, 37, was visibly enraged in the footage as he confronted the occupants of a BMW 4×4 and then pursued them when they attempted to flee.
Super-heavyweight Eddie, who last month made a thunderous start to his pro-MMA career with a rapid-fire 30-second knockout win, is captured arguing heatedly with the driver on video that has now gone viral. Police are investigating the incident.
Eddie is heard yelling: “Why are you sat here then? F*** off or I’ll do you all.” He then appears to point towards his home as he adds: “I couldn’t give a f***, what about my f****** kids?”
Muscles bulging and dressed in a tank top shorts, and slip-on footwear, Eddie bolts after the speeding vehicle, unleashing a venomous tirade.
His angry shouts ring through the street: “Get out. Get out then, you f****** p***k. I’ll f****** rip your head, I’ll twist your f****** head off. All of you get out. I’ll rip off all your heads off you f****** p***ks.”

Another driver, also behind the wheel of a BMW, captured the shocking confrontation on video, providing commentary throughout until he too drives away, as his child starts crying.
What prompted six-time UK’s Strongest Man winner Eddie’s furious outburst isn’t evident. Although in the footage, you can hear a man taunting: “Fatty’s just had a meal and scared my daughter… Eddie Hall.”
As the tension escalates, the cameraman exclaims off-screen: “What the f***? Yo, he is mad. What the f*** man? He’s just tried grabbing me out the car.”
Amid the sounds of children in the background, he goes on to say: “He’s just tried grab me out the car. He come, I was just sat there on my phone. He scared Marnie.”
The video continues as Eddie is observed retrieving his shoe and striding back to a blonde woman, who accompanies him away from the scene.
Eddie’s admirers have been quick to defend him online. One supporter suggested that the incident was a ploy by “Professional wind-up merchants getting clickbait footage.”
Others chimed in with one saying, “Nah both cars are d*** heads. Sat outside his house, doesn’t know you or your intentions, and you’re winding him up.”
A shocked viewer remarked: “You brought your kids along as well. You should have just driven off, but you decided to film it. Bottom of the barrel behaviour.”
Confirming the seriousness of the incident, a Staffordshire Police spokesperson reported: “We were called to an address on Seabridge Lane in Newcastle-under-Lyme at 8.55pm on Monday (5 May) following reports of an assault.
“A man approached a car that was parked nearby and shouted at the driver. It is reported that the man tried to open the door of the car when it started to drive away.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to get in touch by calling 101 or using Live Chat on our website, quoting incident 678 of 5 May.”
Eddie’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
