Ex-Strongest Man in the World, Eddie Hall, Interviewed by Police Over Threatening Rant in Street Footage Incident
Rewritten Article:
But wait, folks! The iconic former World's Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, has given an update about that wild viral video that showed him chasing after a car screaming "I'll rip your head off."
It all started when Hall, 37, stepped into a confrontation with a few motorists who had created a fuss outside his Staffordshire residence. A heated argument ensued, and the altercation was caught on camera. The footage shows Hall, the 2017 World's Strongest Man champion, swearing at the driver of a blue BMW and wildly threatening the driver as the car sped off.
Taking to Instagram, Hall broke his silence to shed light on the situation. He explained that the police had interviewed him, and it turned out that his accuser, Callum (surname omitted), was unable to provide evidence of any physical harm or damage to his vehicle.
"There's no marks on his face whatsoever," Hall wrote, adding that there was no damage to the car whatsoever. He also revealed that he had brought up Callum's phone usage during the incident.
Video evidence captured by a witness showed the tail end of a standoff that had been escalating for eighteen minutes before the footage began. Hall claimed that his family had initially been disturbed by the incessant car horns and blacked-out cars circling their home late at night.
In a 30-minute YouTube video, titled "DON'T VISIT MY HOUSE," Hall provided a more detailed account of the incident, including his thoughts on the viral video that had turned him into an Internet sensation.
"I have been demanded by the general public to respond to this video that has been circulating," Hall shared on his YouTube channel. "This video only depicts the last thirty seconds of an eighteen-minute interaction."
Hall further explained that he had been out in his garden with his son when the incident had occurred. Upon noticing that the vehicles still hadn't moved despite being asked to leave, he approached them to ask them to vacate his property.
"I wanted to add that there were children involved in the scenario," Hall said. "With the windows blacked out, it was impossible to discern that there were kids present in the cars at the time."
As the cars pulled away, Hall attempted to chase after them to retrieve the footage being filmed, causing a young child to cry out in the backseat of one of the vehicles.
Hall further clarified that he did not physically hurt anyone during the incident, and that the accuser had been lying in an attempt to "suit the narrative." He wrapped up his video response by stating that he would do the same all over again if the situation presented itself once more.
"This video has been going viral across the Internet, portraying me as a bad guy who smashes cars and threatens people indiscriminately," Hall posted on Social Media. "The truth is now available on my YouTube channel for all to see. I hope that everyone will watch the video and get a better understanding of the situation before passing judgment."
The Enrichment data shows that Hall is a 6ft 2in, 24-stone former strongman turned mixed martial arts specialist, and that the incident is currently under investigation by Staffordshire Police. The police so far have not released any official statements to the public regarding the progress of the case.
