Carpark Road Rage
Caught on Camera: This alleged โcar park rageโ happened in York Road car park in Southend city centre yesterday.
A witness who wants to stay anonymous reported to Your Southend: โThe man got upset about how the van was parked and then tore off its gas cap.โ
The video shows a person walking between a van and a car and appearing to intentionally interfere with the fuel cap.
Itโs not known what led up to the incident, before the video was captured.
Incidents of road rage and parking rage are reportedly on the rise in the last few years.
Nearly 70% of drivers in the UK say they regularly experience road rage, according to a survey by CompareTheMarket.
With more than 41million vehicles on the roads in the UK, there is a growing battle for space, and many drivers have experienced tensions over parking too.
Vandals left a small church near Benfleet in this mess after breaking in at the weekend, forcing the church to close its doors for the foreseeable future.
St Margaretโs Church in Bowers Gifford had only recently finished repairs after a previous vandalism incident last month.
Resudents in the community say they are โdisgusted by the mindless vandalismโ.
The vandals used grave markers to smash though a stained-glass window at the 14th century church, before destroying a priceless organ and causing ยฃ15,000 worth of damage.
They also smashed glass vases, emptied cupboards and broke chairs.
Essex Police arrested two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, at the scene.
Anyone missing a bin? It's out having a wheelie good time on Southend seafront.
