A man shouting foul language at the top of his voice was filmed ferociously destroying two saplings.

At around 11.25pm last night (13th April), residents heard loud shouting in Burnaby Street from a man – possibly aged in his late 20s – in what appeared to be a red football club shirt. He was calling out, to no-one in particular, “Who fucking wants it? Who fucking wants it?”.

It is remotely possible that the man had been drinking beer earlier in the evening, which had left him quite barking mad. Now, residents have called for Special Branch to investigate the incident.

As the dark-haired man walked (staggered?) west by Chelsea Academy school, he suddenly grabbed a sapling tree and yanked it clear of its wooden stake, then hurled it to the ground. He then proceeded to do the same to a second tree. Both trees were destroyed and later found discarded by the road.

One quick-thinking resident filmed the man calling out and embarking on his sudden tree felling rampage.

Locals report that the man was seen with three other men not long before the incident and suggest that he had been drinking in The Ram, or Jaks, the basement restaurant and nightclub beneath Furniture Cave on the King’s Road.

If anyone has any information as to the identity of the man, please contact The Citizen newsdesk.
