NEW CCTV of the former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall’s explosive row shows the moment he “saw red” before chasing down a car.
The 37-year-old went viral after video was posted online of the heated spat, but he shed light on what really went down that day.

Two motorists turned up at his family house in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Eddie admitted that footage of the incident “looks bad”.
But he spoke out to give more context on the row.
CCTV shows Eddie’s wife Alexandra Hall walking towards the cars – which had blacked-out windows – with a dog.
One of the drivers had hopped out of the vehicle to look into the home.
Eddie said in a Youtube video: “They were outside my house, beeping horns, revving engines, very loud exhausts.
“They sat there for a total of 10 minutes before Alex went out to tell them to go away, very politely I might add. They then moved from one side of my driveway to the other side of my driveway and stayed there for a further seven minutes.
“That’s when I came out. I was in the garden. I’d just come back from a fight in Poland.”
Eddie said the driver told him he wanted to get a photo with his child, to which the beefcake responded: “What about my kids?”
In the clip, the 6ft 3in, 26 stone giant was seen screaming obscenities into the open window of one of the cars, before running at another motor, trying to grab the driver.
But Eddie said he didn’t want to hurt them, he just wanted them to leave.
A young child can be heard screaming in the background as the driver speeds off.
He said: “I want to add that there are kids involved. And up until that last 30 seconds I did not know kids were involved in the scenario. My wife didn’t know there were kids in the car.
“The video shows me blowing up at a blue BMW driver who is parked literally five meters from the entrance to my property.
“Okay, so I’m telling this guy to f*** off. And this last bit of interaction looks bad.

“It looks really bad. Okay, but when you get the context to it, you’ll understand why. So I’m telling this guy to f*** off.
“Just get away from my house. Get away from my family. You’re scaring my kids. They’re in bed, you know, they’re looking out the windows.”
As the driver started to leave, Eddie said the motorist told him: “I’m going to knock you the f*** out.”
“After an 18 minute interaction, you see red. You know, I’m protecting my kids I’m protecting my family.
“So I blow up, you know. ‘Get out the car, I’m going to twist your head off’. All that kind of thing.
“And then on that last bit of the video… the guys, I could see the guys filming me through his window. So I ran towards the car just to grab his phone just to throw it in a bush or something.”
But the father was adamant he “didn’t touch the guy”.
You see red, you know… I’m protecting my kids. I’m protecting my family.
“First off, he is a liar. He’s trying to make the narrative suit his objective Which is to make me look like a t***.”
The footage was later posted to one of the drivers Facebook accounts.
They wrote: “Big Eddie Hall coming smashing our cars and punching me in the jaw and scaring the kids for no reason and damaging the cars.

“We were nowhere near the house.
“Went to a local pub to Eddie Hall for my cousins 10th birthday in hopes to catch him there then we took to show him where Eddie lives.
“What a way to ruin a 10-year-old’s birthday.
“Not to mention the stress caused to my missus who is 37 weeks pregnant.”
Eddie denies punching the driver in the jaw and insists he “did not touch the guy” or their cars.
In a YouTube tour of his home posted after he bought it around four years ago, Eddie detailed the security measures he had put in place to stop “wackos” coming on to his property.
He had spotlights installed all around the property, an electric gate and a full alarm system.
Eddie said: “In my old house I had a lot of problems of people coming on to my property and knocking on the door at stupid hours asking for autographs and pictures.
“I’ve had it where people have climbed over the fence to knock on… so you know, as innocent as that may sound it’s quite worrying.
“And since I’ve lived here, I was in my hot tub a couple of weeks ago somebody just wondered into my back garden and literally offered me a fight, literally put his fists up and said, ‘let’s do some boxing training’…so it just goes to show , being who I am does draw the wackos so the security has been the number one feature for me.”
Eddie won the World’s Strongest Man title in 2017 and is best known for his then world-record setting 500 kg deadlift.
