This is the shocking moment a war erupted outside a bakery after a pensioner on a mobility scooter appeared to run down another man – for buying the last pasty.

The unsavoury scenes – which exploded in the quiet port town of Bideford in Devon – were captured on video by gobsmacked eyewitnesses.

Shopper Oak Leigh said she saw the OAP ‘taking it out’ on a few people outside Country Cottage Bakery as the slow-motion rampage unfolded.

She said: ‘They were arguing because he had the last pasty from the bakery and then bumped into him.

‘He was taking it out on a few people there.

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.

The mobility scooter was later seized by police and rode back to the station

A spokesman for Bideford Police said: ‘Residents of Bideford may have seen this slightly unusual sight today.

‘And while we are an equal opportunity employer, no, we currently don’t have any plans to launch mobility scooter patrols.

‘We attended an incident early today which led to us seizing a mobility scooter which one of our officers then had to ride back to the station!

‘We have identified the owner but all other parties had already left prior to our arrival.

‘We don’t currently have any victims that have come forward to us.’

‘If you were involved in the incident and wish to report this to us, please call 101 and quote log number: 298 (12/12/23).’
