THIS is the astonishing moment "farmers" ambushed flytippers, beat them with a wooden plank and tipped over their van with a tractor.

Disturbing footage filmed at night shows two men apparently taking mounds of rubbish from inside the vehicle and dumping it on the ground outside.

Moments later a green tractor forklift emerges and uses a spiked attachment to push the van on to its side as the second man sprints for safety.

The first flytipper is then belted hard across the upper legs with a plank of wood, making a resounding crack.

It is not yet known where or when the video was made but it appeared last night on a UK-based Facebook page called Machinery and Construction.

The clip is captioned: “Bl**** fly tippers! Watch until the end.”

They don’t like fly tippers yet they’ve just tipped over the whole van and written it off, are you not fly tipping by doing that?

Richard Cairns responded online: “This is brilliant. Well done farmers.”

Lewis Hayward added: “Good teach em a lesson.”

But Darren Pool countered: "Hang on, they don’t like fly tippers yet they’ve just tipped over the whole van and written it off, are you not fly tipping by doing that?"

He added: "You can’t be kicking off about fly tippers if you’re then gonna damage a van and leave it there."

The footage comes after a man was attacked after catching flytippers red-handed last month.

Dion Sampson, 46, was assaulted with pieces of metal and bottles when he went to confront fly tippers near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Dion was forced to escape the barrage with fears of his own safety.

 The flytippers were apparently caught unawares by the 'farmers'
