Man destroys his own van in Paris street

A bizarre video has emerged of a man destroying his own van after knocking down two traffic lights in Barbes, Paris, France.

The footage, shot on Thursday, shows passers by gathering around the car as the driver violently empties the back of his van onto the road.

The driver then proceeds to smash the van windows with what seems to be a bottle of gas.

According to reports the man was arrested.
