This is the jaw-dropping moment a pensioner on a mobility scooter drives into a man who grabbed the last pasty just before him at a popular bakery.

In scenes akin to Kill Bill but set in Devon, an elderly man brandishes his walking stick at his target and then pursues him in a slow-speed chase outside Country Cottage Bakery in Bideford.

In a video shot by a local from a nearby window, the pasty-loving pensioner appears to drive into another man who falls over on a sign on the busy high street.

She told Devon Live: “They were arguing because he had the last pasty from the bakery and then bumped into him.

“He was taking it out on a few people there.

“After I got my phone out [the incident] happened.”

A passer-by takes the walking stick from the pensioner as another grabs his keys out of the ignition leaving the pensioner stranded.

Devon and Cornwall Police identified the man involved in the squabble over the ￡4.30 steak pasty and seized his scooter with a PCSO seen driving it back through the town to the station.
