If you’ve ever wondered exactly what it means to be ragdolled then this video perhaps serves as the quintessential example of the phenomenon in action.

Before we begin, let’s quickly define exactly what the term ‘ragdolled’ actually means according to the urban dictionary.

’Ragdolled: To be forcefully grabbed and shaken with such ferocity that the recipient resembles a ragdoll.’

The altercation in question occurred somewhere in Africa, though no exact location is given and unfortunately there’s no explanation as to what sparked off the fight.

Judging by the ferocity of the attack that was about to take place we’d like to think that the victim had committed some kind of heinous crime that warranted such a savage beating, but all signs seem to point to it just being a particularly brutal example of sub-Saharan road rage in action.

As the video begins the fight is already well underway, with the guy in the black jacket hoisting his rival in the white vest high over his own head and then ruthlessly slamming him head-first back down to the hard-baked earth below.

In most people’s eyes that would have been considered a fight-ending maneuver, but unfortunately for the dazed and confused victim, he was going to be taken for a ride several more times before his attacker was through with him.

Grabbing his rival by the belt of his jeans and around his thigh, the attacker began effortlessly lifting him into the air and then violently sending him thumping back to the roadside.

Finally two brave bystanders stepped in to stop the beatdown and without saying a word the attacker stopped the assault and walked away, while his victim lay motionless on the ground and others who had been loudly shouting on from the sidelines suddenly turned deathly quiet, lest they be the next to experience The Ragdoll King’s wrath!
