A heated neighborhood dispute between two men quickly escalated to DEFCON 5 when a weapon was brandished.

It’s not clear exactly what started the confrontation between the two middle-aged subjects, but tempers are already flaring as the video footage begins.

Get your ass away from here, bro, before I pop your ass! a man in a black tank top and red shorts yells as he steps out of his home wielding a broom in his hands as a makeshift weapon.

Don’t you ever strike me! the other man in a white t-shirt and black pants warns as he stands on the sidewalk nearby.

Get your ass away from here, bro! black-top yells again as he moves in with his broom handle pointed at his rival.

If you ever strike me, there’ll be a World War 6! comes white-shirt’s classic retort.

At this stage we’ll confess to probably having slept through the history class that detailed what actually happened in World Wars 3 –5.

That being said, we can confidently surmise that they must have been pretty devastating if the only weapons left to start the sixth war with are bare knuckles and a broomstick.

Nonetheless, war is definitely on the cards as black-top gets physical by slapping white-shirt’s outstretched arm away from him.

Black-top had already made a key error by moving too close to his opponent while they were arguing, which limits his ability to use his rangey weapon effectively as white-shirt suddenly lunges towards him.

He is able to fend off white-shirt momentarily with his free hand though, which creates the space he needs.

Black-top moves forward and swings the broom handle two-handed, landing a blow to his rival’s leg.

White-shirt immediately returns fire though, connecting with a hard right hook to the temple that floors him.

While his opponent is still grounded, white-shirt is able to wrench the broom out of his hand, and then starts beating him with it.

He’s able to land several blows as black-top struggles to stand up, with the final one sending him stumbling back down to the sidewalk again.

A couple of more broom strikes land and then thankfully white-shirt decides his rival has had enough.

Don’t you ever disrespect this, you hear this? the victor shouts at his downed foe. Don’t you ever swing a broom like this. Don’t you ever swing anything like that!

And with that the two men went their separate ways, with white-shirt claiming the broom as the only spoils of this particular war.
