A furious resident tried to storm into his neighbour's house demanding he 'fight like a man' over a parking row.Ashley Stephenson resorted to calling the police last month after his neighbour tried to barge into his home in Hull and provoke him to fight because he was upset with his parking.The father-of-one said he had parked his Smart car in front of a drop kerb for 'less than ten minutes' while he brought his shopping inside and added his neighbour could have driven out had he wanted.But the 41-year-old said his neighbour, who has not been named, angrily knocked on his door and said: 'Why you being a c**k parking in front of my yard?'Mr Stephenson then asked: 'Why am I being a c**k?'The angry neighbour then repeated: 'Why are you being a c**k? Just tell us now why are you being a c**k?'.Mr Stephenson responded: 'Why am I being a c**k? I'm parked between your gates in my little tiny car so you can still get in and out.'His neighbour then said Mr Stephenson was not allowed to park in front of the drop kerb, to which he replied: 'Go away.' Doorbell footage captured the moment an angry neighbour tried to storm into Ashley Stephenson's house in Hull last month during an argument over parking Mr Stephenson said the outburst was 'completely uncalled for' and had left his 14-year-old daughter petrifiedFurious, the neighbour tried to storm his way into Mr Stephenson's home and shouted at him to come outside and 'fight like a man'.Fearing his neighbour was trying to 'attack' him, Mr Stephenson said he shut his front door and rang the police about the altercation.He said the experience had left his 14-year-old daughter, who was in the house at the time, petrified and added the confrontation had been 'appalling'.After sharing the clip on social media, some called the neighbour's behaviour 'disgusting'.Though some said it was a 'petty' thing to get so annoyed about, others blamed Mr Stephenson and said he should 'stop parking on people's drives then you won't have people being frustrated, simple'.Mr Stephenson, an engineer, said: 'I've always known that parking has been a bit of an issue there. I bought a Smart car because parking was that bad.'Then on May 11, there wasn't anywhere to park. I'd just been out shopping so thought I'd park there to bring in my shopping.'I parked where the dropped kerb was [outside his house]. This is a public road.'The car was there less than 10 minutes. I was planning on moving it. I parked so he could still get in and out if he needed to. I knew I wasn't blocking anything or causing any problems at all.' Mr Stephenson had parked his Smart car in front of a drop kerb on his neighbour's drive but said he still had space to move his car out The neighbour asked Mr Stephenson why he was 'being a c**k' as he approached the doorHe said he had been shocked by the outburst, saying: 'He came around all guns blazing. He started banging on the windows. I was taken aback by it. I thought: "Why are you at an 11? It's nothing."'Apart from me asking him to move his car one time, I've never had any dealings with him at all.'He starts coming into the porch but as he was forcing himself in, I forced the door back on him and closed the door.'He wanted to attack me. I had young kids in the house that were petrified. If I hadn't managed to get that door shut, he would've been in my house and he would've been assaulting me.'It's petrified my daughter. She's been going around the house, checking the front door.'This behaviour is appalling. You don't go all guns blazing in the first instance, you just ask: "Do you mind moving your car?"'It was completely uncalled for. I couldn't understand why he was coming around with such anger.'Humberside Police said officers arrived after the altercation, which took place around 7.30pm.
