The 37-year-old can be heard telling the motorists to 'f*** off,' before sprinting towards a BMW in rage.

A short clip was posted on social media and the beginning shows Hall angrily confronting someone through their car window, saying: "I'll f***ing do you all, f*** off."

The person in the vehicle responds with a comment about his children, and Hall says: "I couldn't give a f***. What about my f***ing kids?"

As the motorist attempts to drive off, the driver says something that sends Hall over the edge and the former Strongman goes after the vehicle.

"Hey, get out, get out you f**ing p****," he shouts, before adding: "I’ll f**ing rip your head, I’ll twist your f**ing head off. All of you get out, I’ll f***ing rip your heads off."

Hall then targets another vehicle at the scene and appears to try and smack the driver who gets away as a child in the back seat can be heard crying.

'The Beast' has since claimed that those involved were taking pictures of his house and looking into his driveway, which prompted his children to wake up and become scared.

This would explain why the 2017 World's Strongest Man, who made his MMA debut last month, got exceedingly angry in the shocking footage.

"You woke my young children up and they became very scared! You were asked very politely to leave after waiting outside my house for 15 minutes.

"You continued to wait outside my house scaring my kids to death so hear I am asking you again to leave and you filmed the last 30 seconds of our interaction when you've been outside the property for a total of 25 minutes.

"So I asked you all to leave and the blue BMW driver said, and I quote, 'I'll knock you out.' So I got angry.

"If you think harassing my house and waking my kids up at 9pm at night is acceptable then you're not reasonable human beings.

"We all see red when it comes to protecting our families, especially when it comes to young children and my house is not a public attraction and I am not public property to use as a photo shoot at 9pm at night.

"I am deeply sorry for upsetting your children!!"

'The Beast' had previously entered the MMA world in a 2v1 battle last year, but went one-on-one for the first time in Poland, stopping his opponent inside 30 seconds in what was a remarkable upset on paper.

Speaking to marvelbet369.com ahead of his flight to Poland, Hall said he has a few ideas up his sleeve for the future.

“Another 2v1 fight,” Hall explained when asked about his ideal future in combat sports.

“Maybe me and Mariusz team up and we go 2v4. I don’t know, but I just want to do fun s***.

“I want to challenge myself. I just want to do fun stuff in my life.”

Eddie Hall suggests wild 2v4 as next fight after stunning KO on MMA debut: ‘I want to challenge myself’

“I’ve got no aspirations to climb the ranks. I’ve got no aspirations to have a ranking in any fight Federation.

“Where I belong is the freak fights, the 2v1s, the Mariusz Pudzianowski’s, the freak fights. I think that’s where I belong."

Hall is a range of options for his future in the combat sports world, but it seems he has his family to protect for now.
