‘Rip your head off’: World’s strongest man explodes in viral footage

One of the world’s strongest men has responded to shocking footage of him chasing a car and threatening to rip a person’s head off.

Former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall has slammed “stalkers who harassed” him outside his home after footage of a furious dispute went viral.

Hall has responded on social media after footage, which you can watch in the video above, emerged of the 37-year-old in a heated argument with two “stalkers”.

The 2017 World’s Strongest Man has come a cult figure, unveiling a wild body transformation last year as he transitioned into MMA, last month scoring an upset win in 30 seconds in his MMA debut.

The hulking Englishman was filmed confronting two motorists who drove down his street and loitered outside his house in Newcastle-under-Lyne.

The footage shows Hall approaching the drivers in their cars and asking them to leave, before tensions exploded and he screamed expletives at them and chased the cars down the street.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Hall admitted the footage, which racked up millions of views, “looks bad”, but he wanted to give the “context” behind it.

“It was 9pm on a bank holiday Monday, we had a lovely weekend, and these people come decide to ruin it for everybody,” he explained.

In the YouTube video, Hall shows CCTV which appears to show three blacked-out cars parked up outside his property, including one driver who hopped out his car and peered into the house.

CCTV then shows Eddie’s wife, Alexandra Hall, walking towards the cars with a dog.

“Three cars with blacked out windows came to my home, beeping horns, revving engines, very loud exhaust, and sat there for a total of 10 minutes before Alex went out and told them to go, very politely,” Hall said.

“They then moved from one side of my driveway to the other side of my driveway and stayed there for a further seven minutes.”

After her first attempt, doorbell footage then shows Alex’s second interaction with the drivers.

One woman in the car shouted “it’s a public path, we can do what we want” to which Alex responded “yes, I know but you’re sitting outside our gates like a weirdo, love - move on.”

The woman then replied: “No, we’ll stay.”

Hall then asked the drivers to leave himself and came face-to-face with the driver, who said he “just wanted to get a picture with his kid.”

At the start of the viral clip posted on social media, the person filming the video is heard saying: “He’s (Hall) just scared me daughter.”

The driver supposedly told the strongman he was upsetting their children, to which Hall responded: “I couldn’t give a f**k, what about my kids?”

He then said what caused him to “see red” was that the driver allegedly told Hall: “I’m gonna knock you the f*** out.”

In the clip, the 6ft 3inch, 165kg giant is seen screaming obscenities into the open window of one of the cars, before running at another car.

A young child can be heard screaming in the background as the driver speeds off.

Hall can then be seen shouting at another motorist in the car behind, saying: “F*** off, or I’ll f***ing do you all, f*** off.”

As the motorist tried to drive away, he chased the car and shouted: “Hey, hey, get out, get out you f***ing prick.

“I’ll f***ing rip your head, I’ll twist your f***ing head off. All of you get out, I’ll rip your f***ing head off.”

In his YouTube video, Hall later added: “You want me to respect your children’s emotions, respect my children’s emotions.”

He said he’d spotted someone recording and ran towards to grab the phone “just to throw it in a bush or something”.

A furious Hall is then seen sprinting towards the man filming, when his Crocs fell off, before the motorist speeds off in a BMW, his daughter crying in the back seat.

The former world's strongest man has turned to MMA.

The footage was later posted to one of the driver’s Facebook accounts.

They wrote: “Big Eddie Hall coming smashing our cars and punching me in the jaw and scaring the kids for no reason and damaging the cars.

“We were nowhere near the house. Went to a local pub to Eddie Hall for my cousin’s 10th birthday in hopes to catch him there then we took to show him where Eddie lives.

“What a way to ruin a 10-year-old’s birthday.

“Not to mention the stress caused to my missus who is 37 weeks pregnant.”

Hall denied punching the driver in the jaw and insists he “did not touch the guy” or their cars.

The strongman explained: “If I’d have hit that guy in the jaw I think he would have said ‘ow.’”

People were quick to express support of Hall in response to his YouTube video titled “DON’T VISIT MY HOUSE!!! Stalkers confronted”.

One person commented: “These lads were looking for a reaction, got one, and then played victim, typical.”

Another said: “It’s actually sad that Eddie has to clear his name just because this bunch thinks Eddie’s house is some kind of an amusement park … Eddie you did the right thing 100% keep your family safe.”
