Terrifying moment Mercedes runs down man sending him flying through the air

 

This is the terrifying moment a motorist runs over a man and sends him flying during a bizarre dispute in front of stunned bystanders.

In the disturbing clip, the Mercedes driver smashes into the man before reversing and attempting to hit him again.

The shocking incident was filmed in Peterborough, last weekend and it is unknown why the road rage incident started.

In the clip, bystanders yell in terror as the motorist ploughs into the man in the street during a heated argument and tries to run him over.

The driver sends the man flying into the air and his body is thrown onto the pavement by the Mercedes car.

After landing crumpled on the street, the man astonishingly manages to pick himself back up off the ground.

A small crowd of people have gathered to watch the brawl. The man and his female companion start yelling at the motorist to leave and he starts reversing his car back into the road.

The couple walk away but the motorist shockingly attempts to plough into the man again and run him over. However as the vehicle mounts the pavement, it just misses him.

As the Mercedes car eventually drives off, the man smacks on the vehicle window in anger and the woman screams at the driver to leave.

As the car flees the scene, a passenger in the front seat imitates a fake finger pistol sign at the pedestrian the vehicle just ran over.

Social media users were left shocked by the clip and were astounded by how the hit-and-run victim managed to get up again.

One user wrote: ‘As if my man got mowed down by a benz but got back up quick’

Another individual commented: ‘Is anyone else as surprised as I am by how he managed to get back up after being mowed down like that?!’
