Calls the cops: A woman identified as Andrea Mears, 23, approached the blond man pictured at bottom as he operated his drone on the beach

Flies into a rage: The woman gets off the phone with police only to abruptly and without warning attack the drone enthusiast and knock him to the ground as he secretly recorded it with his phone

Ironically, it was Mears who called them first.

'He's taking pictures of people on the beach, with a, with a helicopter plane,' she said into the phone as she tried physically stopping the man from using his drone.

She then told police he was covertly snapping pictures of people to 'upload' using his 'helicopter plane.'

She then gets off the phone with police and drags the man to the ground as he gathering his equipment to leave.

'You're assaulting me you a**wipe,' yells the blond man as he's pummeled by the woman.

The struggle continues as Mears rips the man's shirt halfway off.

'You little pervert': Mears is even seen ripping the man's shirt nearly off his body as they struggle on the ground

'I'm gonna beat your a**!': The woman remains strangely calm as she assaults the man. She appeared to be under the impression that the man was taking inappropriate pictures

'Yeah! That's what you get you little pervert,' Mears growls from off camera overs sounds of landed punches and grinding sand.

'You wanna take pictures?' she snarls. 'Yeah. You're gonna see how it feels when the police come.'

She continues to smack the man before telling him to let go of her.

'If you weren't assaulting me, I wouldn't be touching you,' he says.

Mears then screams: 'Then maybe you shouldn't be taking pictures of people on the beach! I'm gonna beat your a** you little m*****f*****!'

Bizarre: The struggle goes on as Mears continues to strike and yell at the man, who refrains from hitting back

Hold on, I have to take this: The woman only lets go when her cell phone rings

The ends when Mears gets up to answer her cell phone.

However, her interactions with the man did not end, though for her sake they should have.

Mears tells her story to police before the man approaches them in his tattered clothing and shows officers the video.

In the end it was Mears who was arrested, not the drone operator.

While it is unclear what occurred in the moments before the man began recording the bizarre incident, his YouTube account--which also hosts an edited version of the video--features several other seemingly innocent videos taken on the beach with the drone.

Who's sorry now? Mears explains the situation to a passerby as the drone pilot continues to record on the sly with his phone. The footage he took eventually got Mears, who was the one who initially called police, arrested
