This is the terrifying moment a British woman and her teenage son were chased down by a furious villager while trekking in Nepal.

Gemma Wilson, 35, a trainee teacher from Barnsley, was hiking the Annapurna Circuit with stepson Charlie, 15, when the pair were attacked by a tea shop owner.

Dramatic GoPro footage shows the pair attempting to get away from the local, who is chasing them with two large planks of wood and throwing rocks at them.

This is the terrifying moment a Nepalese woman hurled rocks at Gemma Wilson, 35, a trainee teacher from Barnsley, and her stepson Charlie as they trekked around the country

Gemma can be heard begging for her life as the woman threatens them, saying she didn't dare fight back in case she slipped off the narrow mountain path to her death.

She told The Mirror that the altercation started as the pair were around 4.5km into the 230km trek when they stopped to get a drink.

Her son ordered a black tea, but when they came to pay for the drink, the woman wanted to charge them 150 rupees instead of the typical 50.

While Gemma paid the bill, she said she remarked the amount was more than they were used to paying.

The pair then went outside where they tried to take a picture of the shop, which caused the owner to go into meltdown.

Gemma said: 'She went to the door and picked up a big plank of wood and she was screaming at me. She tried to hit me with it.

Gemma said the incident started after they stopped at the woman's tea shop for a drink and she complained about the price of a drink (pictured, the pair run through the mountains)

Despite paying for the drink, Gemma said the woman hit her with a plank of wood - bruising her hand and breaking one of her walking poles - then started chasing them

'I moved my walking poles to stop it but she hit my walking poles with such force that it broke one of them.

'The only part she managed to hit me was my hand and I have some bruising.'

Gemma fled the village and went back to the path, but soon noticed that the woman was coming up behind them.

In the footage, she can be heard shouting to Charlie to run on ahead as she turns to face the woman before falling down.

As she pleads with the local to let her go, the woman hurls a large rock at her.

Gemma only makes it a short distance away before she is forced to stop - exhausted and out of breath after running in the high altitude.

In the video the local woman can be seen threatening to hit the pair again, shouting about money, and insulting them in very broken English

Gemma said she tried to call police when she arrived at the next village, where locals told her that the woman has attacked several other travelers

The woman catches up a second time, and can be heard shouting in very broken English about money and discounts.

Gemma can be heard pleading that the woman is scaring her son and asking to be allowed to leave, but to no avail.

The local woman then starts hurling a series of of insults - calling Gemma a 'dog', 'donkey' and 'cow' before making remarks about her hair.

In another blunt threat she tells Gemma: 'You dead.'

During the confrontation Gemma can be seen slowly backing away to where her son is standing further up the path with another man walking a donkey.

Gemma said that it was after seeing this man that the woman started backing off, though she can still be heard shouting as Gemma and Charlie leave.

Gemma told the Mirror that she attempted to contact police in the next village, but was told the nearest station was days away. Villagers told her that the same woman had harassed several other travelers.

But shop owner Pasang Gurung told a very different tale to Facebook page Responsible Treks.

She claimed Ms Wilson had asked for tea to be served in her own cup rather than one from the store which was three times the regular size, hence the inflated price for the drink.

Ms Gurung said Ms Wilson queried the price of tea before throwing money on the ground, then attempting to take pictures of the shop.

When Ms Gurung asked Ms Wilson to delete the photos, she claimed Ms Wilson took out a penknife which caused he to become afraid an lash out.

She said: 'I screamed as loud as I could, I roared upon her and I chased her.

'Angry and scared, I admit that I threw a small stone at her which hit her hip. I did no harm to her other than this.

'The government closed my shop for 15 days because of this and I had to explain the local officials why I did this.'
