This is the indescribable moment a road rage fist fight breaks out between and angry driver and a man with a giant karate mask head.

In the very odd footage the costumed pedestrian and the driver of a white Lexus square off in the middle of a busy main road.

The video - shot on car dashcams in Omsk, Central Russia - has been watched by tens of thousands of viewers since it was shared online earlier this week.

The man in the mascot costume – who was promoting a sushi takeaway restaurant in the city - had been using a crossing when a white Lexus almost ran him down.

Footage shows the car nudging the mascot's leg as it manages to brake just in time.

But when the mascot aimed a mock kung fu kick at the car's bumper, it rapidly became clear he had bitten off more than he could chew.

Within seconds, the car's burly passenger leaped out of his seat and battered his opponent senseless.

After kneeing him in the stomach, the passenger aims a full punch at the mascot's huge plastic head and the pedestrian falls to the ground.

Then while he is still down, the passenger gets back into his car and his friend drives off.

Local media reports that the mascot has asked police to trace the car and its passenger.

But the street battle has baffled online watchers.

One - identified as ‘Blood’ – said: "What the f**k is going on in Omsk? You can just paste 'Omsk' to a Google search and you will realise how everything is wrong there."

Another Sergey Karlov said: "What stupid people."
