Astonishing footage shows how a road rage dispute escalated - causing two-mile long tailbacks in the Philippines.
The driver sparked chaos after allegedly arguing with a motorcyclist then knocking him over in the Quezon City area of Manila, the Philippines on February 8.
Several bystanders gave chase and surrounded the car before the police arrived. The driver was then dragged out into the road.

They said: ''There were many witnesses who we are collecting statements from and checking CCTV of the alleged traffic infringement that caused the raucous.
''Traffic on Commonwealth Avenue was delayed for a while during the incident but it resumed once the scene had been cleared.''
