The strange mobile phone footage shows the man acting aggressively while buck naked in the middle of Rochdale Road, in Bury, Greater Manchester just before 11 am yesterday (Oct 22). In the 27 second long clip he can be seen slapping a car as it drives past him before walking over to a silver van and aggressively trying to open the door and pull him out of the vehicle.
