Man tries to reverse his impounded car, then this happens. Photos/Video

A man identified as Arthur is being mocked on social media after he attempted to reverse his impounded car off the back of a tow truck.

Arthur, who appears to have had his car impounded by law enforcement officials, was captured on camera as he decided he wasn't keen on paying to have his vehicle returned, instead, he hopped into the driver's seat as the car was on the back of the lorry and tried to take it away.

The footage shows him throw the car into reverse and accelerate in a bid to get free - but when the chains attached to the car's axles eventually yields, the car jolts free only to get wedged on the corner of the tow truck.
