A video captured the moment in which a kangaroo chased a man before the two got into a hand-to-hand fight and ended up fighting on the ground, in a strange confrontation that took place in the Australian state of New South Wales.
Footage of the fight shows the man running away from the enraged marsupial before tripping and hitting the ground.
Then the kangaroo tramples on the man, who desperately gets to his feet taking a stick and hitting it savagely.
The man’s dog barks behind him in an attempt to defend its owner as the canine turns and returns to attack mode.
The kangaroo is able to jump through the first blow and the two face off exchanging hooks, shoves and punches. Overwhelmed by the rapid blows, the man clings to the kangaroo to prevent further aggression and grabs it by the front leg, knocking it to the ground.
Fortunately for the victim, he ends up being able to pin the animal to the ground, but not before taking a few hits.
It is unknown if the man suffered any injuries.
Most of the kangaroos are not aggressive, but thousands of attacks occur in Australia, mostly undocumented, when the animals feel threatened.
