This is the brutal moment a DHL driver physically assaulted a couple using boxing moves over a parking row.

The dispute erupted in Herne, Germany, when a couple questioned the driver over his vehicle which was allegedly parked illegally.

The altercation began with the exchange of insults, with the driver saying to the couple: 'I’m working here, and you call me "monkey"? If you’re a man, put on your boxing gloves and we’ll go spar,' according to a translation by German newspaper BILD.

'I'm working, you can't hit it like that,' the driver said, after the man, 54, presumably struck his van.

But what began as a verbal argument swiftly escalated into violence, as the delivery driver landed his first punch on the 42-year-old woman.
