“DON’T give me lip” shouts a furious man who is outraged a group of teenagers went into his garden to retrieve their football.
This video clip filmed in Stoneham Park, Hove, has now been viewed more than 60,000 times as the unidentified man in the blue shirt rants and swears at the boys.
The group of teens defend their actions which makes the grown-up totally lose it as he screams and points – threatening to have them arrested for burglary.
At one point he shouts “I am supposed to throw it over am I? Why don’t you not kick it over in the first place?
“Do you jump in our garden on purpose? It is a criminal offence and I will report you to the police?”
The video finishes with the man heading back to his house in a temper.
Opinion is divided over the man’s actions, with some commenters saying he overreacted but others defending him saying “He has a right to be annoyed he paid for that property and he could have spent hundreds cultivating a garden.”
