Footage has been posted online showing a man fight a tree in a Leicester park.

The 23-second clip was tweeted out last week under the caption Man vs Tree - the things you see in Leicester.

The footage shows the man kick the tree before throwing a series of punches.

He then hops on his bike and appears to ride off.

The incident was recorded last Tuesday at 2pm in Nelson Mandela Park, near HMP Leicester.
