In the video clip the mobility scooter user can be seen holding his walking stick while controlling his vehicle with one hand.
Another person then shouts: ‘I said do you want help.’
The man replies but it is difficult to make out his response.
Seconds later he appears to drive his mobility scooter at another man, forcing him to fall over a sign.
Someone then screams: ‘You dare! You just knocked him over!’
People then gather to help the man up from the floor.
