He fell against a shop’s window, before tripping over a sign, falling to the floor, as a passer-by shouted: “You just knocked him over!”
Various passers-by tried to help calm the situation but to no avail.
A woman tried to grab the pensioner’s cane from him but he held on tight. She later went and helped the man off of the floor and the pair walked away from the elderly man, shaking their heads in shame.
Another gentleman tried to then take the walking stick off the vexed man, however his attempts were also not successful.

Oak Leigh, who filmed the bust-up, said the hungry pensioner “took out his anger” on a few people.
“They were arguing because he had the last pasty from the bakery and bumped into him,” she said to the Metro.
Bideford Police joked that even though they now had a mobility scooter in their possession, they would not be launching patrols.
