A father and son were captured on video throwing punches at a middle-aged driver in a road rage fight on a busy California highway.

The shocking brawl unfolded around 2 pm on Tuesday on the 10 Freeway in South Los Angeles after the three individuals argued over a minor fender bender.

Witness Thiago Oliveira was stuck in traffic when the altercation erupted. He managed to capture the moment before jumping in to deescalate the situation.

'I came upon this father and son beating this guy over a fender bender. He claimed that they had hit him, and they're denying it.' he told FOX.

A man in a dark shirt and jeans is seen restraining the middle-aged man in a black shirt and shorts while another throws vicious punches at his face.

The man in shorts attempted to retaliate but missed a punch, sending him to the ground.

A woman can be seen recording the brawl on her phone before she intervened, pulling the man who was attacked away from the fight. 

That's the moment when Oliveira decided to stop filming and jump in. 

'I was like, I'm not going to get close until I realized they don't have any guns. And I won't get killed over this thing. But once I realized I was safe, I went over,' he said. 

He told the three people: 'Hey, guys, listen, we can either call the cops right now, or we can go, because there's 50 cars behind us.'

Social media users have since dubbed the brawl a typical LA moment, with some commenting "City of Angels' under the video

Both parties returned to their vehicles and the crowd eventually dispersed. It's not known if authorities were ever involved or if any arrests were made. 

'No one was hurt because they were terrible at fighting,' Oliveira told KTLA. 

Oliveira later shared the video on his Facebook page, with the caption reading: 'When you catch the client who didn't pay for the landscaping.'

Social media users have since dubbed the brawl a typical LA moment, with some commenting "City of Angels' under the video.  

One user wrote: 'They need to be arrested. How does a Father and Son participate in a fight? This is why you have insurance.'

'If you hit someone from behind then you’re at fault...California Highway Patrol will figure it out. My concern they did this once will they do it again?' they added.
