This is the shocking moment an enraged man shoves his elderly neighbour when an ongoing dispute between the two boiled over.
Ring doorbell footage shows irate Michael Tayler emerging from his front door just as pensioner Julia Wermig-Morgan returns to her flat in Burton Bradstock opposite.
Tayler, 55, aggressively approaches Miss Wermig-Morgan before yelling at her 'what are you doing now?' and 'get out of my sight'.
He then pushes the 70-year-old victim as she attempts to get in her own front door.
Watch the video of the incident below.
The 'frightening' incident happened at a block of flats in the west Dorset village on May 20 last year.
A court heard Miss Wermig-Morgan, a psychotherapist and Oxford University postgraduate, disliked her neighbour and he 'positively loathes her.'
The pair had made complaints about each other in the past.
Tayler appeared at Weymouth Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to assault by beating.
The hearing heard the incident was completely unprovoked and unnecessary by Tayler, who was watching his neighbour return through the spyhole of his front door.
Charles Nightingale, prosecuting, said: "The defendant's immediate neighbour is Julia Wermig-Morgan. The two have a fraught relationship, each has made complaints about the other, both of them with success.
"Miss Wermig-Morgan is subject to a restraining order for her conduct in relation to Mr Tayler. She dislikes the defendant, and he positively loathes her.
"They live on the same landing with their front doors facing each other. It would be best if they ignored each other, but the defendant simply failed to do so on May 20.
"Miss Wermig-Morgan came in from the outside area. The incident commenced by him coming out of his property.
"He has a spyhole in the middle of his door. He was either waiting, looking through the spy hole, or he happened to look through and decided to have a confrontation rather than avoid it.
"She has done nothing to cause this incident. She's an older lady and feels her life is being made a misery by the defendant.
"She has complied with the order against her and wishes the defendant would just leave her alone.
"What the Crown seeks here, rather than any punishment, is protection through a single prohibitive restraining order, to prevent further offences of this kind.
"They both should be capable of ignoring the other."
Simon Lacey, defending Tayler, said: "This dislike is one that has been going on for some time. Mr Tayler says he doesn't loathe this lady, he wants to help her but as you can see things are not going well.
"He has been in the building for three years and four months. There have been ongoing issues between them.
"He feels that she is the cause of all the problems, she probably has an opposite view of him. He seems to have come to the end of his tether, he's gone out and she's just coming back in and he pushes her as we have seen.
"A wiser person would have avoided and ignored her. This is a neighbour issue. They need to avoid each other so things don't get out of hand again."
Presiding magistrate Robert Ford said: "Although it was a push, there was clear evidence that you were obviously waiting for the lady and the manner in which you came out was totally unacceptable and quite frankly frightening."
Tayler was given a 12 month restraining order.
Mr Ford said: "If you both come out your doors at the same time, your solution is simple - you go back inside or you pass her without making any contact.
"If you breach that restraining order in any way, shape or form, we would anticipate that you would go straight to jail.
"Have nothing to do with her whatsoever."
Tayler was also given a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £26 victim surcharge and £85 prosecution costs.
Afterwards, Miss Wermig-Morgan said she was 'absolutely furious' Taylor had been 'let off lightly'.
She said: "He is a thug and what he did was bloody terrifying. They have let him off lightly. I am absolutely furious."
