An afternoon out on the water has ended in a violent confrontation between a man in an inflatable dinghy and a woman in a larger boat with young children on board.
The incident, which was captured on video, involves swearing, shouting and arguing - and finishes with the inflatable dinghy starting to sink after the enraged man drives into the woman s boat.
