Meanwhile viewers of the dashcam footage can see another silver van stopped just a few yards in front, in Southall, west London.
The cars seemed locked in an impasses with neither driver giving way.
But moments later the furious man races to the boot of his car before grabbing out a cricket bat and charging across the road.
Realising that carnage is about to unfold, the van driver attempts a swift getaway.
However, he is just not quick enough as the enraged man batters the back of the silver vehicle with the sports equipment.
He then shouts out in frustration after the row as the van pulls away.
It is not known what caused the argument, which was caught on camera on Friday September 29 in the capital.
Responding to the footage after it was posted online, one driver said: “If that was my van he hit I would have stopped and got out”.
Another user quipped: “That’s LBW.”
The Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment.

The video was posted to Facebook by Becky Ryan who said the abuse was aimed at her mum in the road rage incident on August 25 at a Tesco petrol station in Bournemouth, Dorset.
Meanwhile, drivers were warned over a 99p TikTok car cleaning “hack” which could cause thousands of pounds of damage.
