“So he just did that … no provocation?” one user wrote.

“No doubt the bus driver must have cut him off or did something. But nothing justifies his response,” another said.

The incident is the latest in a series of road rage incidents which have cropped up across the country so far this year.’

In January, a road-rage brawl was caught on camera in the middle of Melbourne’s peak hour traffic.

The shocking video shows the moments after two women – a pedestrian and a driver – became locked in a heated fight in the inner-city suburb of Elwood.

The fight unfolded about 6pm on Brighton Road, with footage showing a white 4WD with its driver’s-side door open as one of the women slaps the other across the face.

Both women appear to take a boxing stance as they take turns slapping, pushing and pulling at each other.

A row of traffic on the opposite side of the road watches as the drama unfolds and it is understood traffic banks up out of frame.

The fight lasts less than a minute, but it is not known what caused the brawl.

It all comes to an end when bystanders rush in to break the fight up.
