It's good to see you've got no arm': Disgraceful moment road rage driver mocks a motorcyclist for having a prosthetic limb after confronting him at a servo

Two thugs have been filmed hurling a tirade of threats and abuse at a man who has a prosthetic arm after they claimed he touched their car. 

Shane Kapitzke was enjoying a motorbike ride with his 22-year-old son on Saturday night when the pair stopped at a fast food restaurant in Mackay, Queensland. 

Video from a body-worn camera shows Mr Kapitzke outside the restaurant as he is threatened by a middle-aged man and a teenager as they hold ice cream cones. 

The video, which has been viewed 40,000 times since Saturday, shows the man mocking Mr Kapitzke for having a prosthetic arm and saying it was the only reason he wasn't getting 'punched out'. 

'It's good to see you got no arm too, you piece of s***, you deserve it,' the man can be seen yelling on the video.

'That's the only reason you're not getting f***ing punched out, c***.'  

'Your sympathy f***ing thing is gonna go out the window in a moment.' 

Mr Kapitzke, who can be seen in the video calmly standing his ground, said he wants the video to serve as an example of resisting violence and said did not take the comments personally. 

'I could just see that he was reaching around for a button to press, he needed that violent reaction,' he told the ABC. 

'I was thinking mostly about the repercussions and the aftermath of potential violence. As well as my son, I've got a daughter,' he said. 

Mr Kapitzke said going through his mind as the man and teenager hurled abuse at him was that he didn't want to leave his son 'out there' by himself if he got into a fight and that he didn't want to have to explain a black eye or worse to his daughter. 

A 46-year-old man and a 17-year-old teenager who are 'known to each other' have been charged with threatening violence

The middle aged man can be seen in the footage yelling abuse at Mr Kapitzke for about eight minutes, while holding onto a soft-serve cone, before driving away. 

Most viewers on the video have condemned the behaviour of man and teenager.

Some have even created memes poking fun at the perpetrators hurling abuse as they hold their ice creams. 

Mr Kapitzke said while he doesn't want people 'patting him on the back' he wants the video to serve as an example to show people: 'Hey, we don't put up with that'. 

A 46-year-old man and a 17-year-old teenager who are 'known to each other' have been charged with threatening violence. 

The man is set to front Mackay Magistrate's Court later in October while the teenager's scheduled court appearance has not been released.

The HS2 money pit: Ministers are told first stage of high-speed rail line may cost another £800m... six months after a budget increase saw total costs soar by £20.6bn to £43billion

Ministers have been told that Phase One of controversial rail line HS2 could cost £800million more than planned. It comes just six months after a budget increase saw total predicted costs for the first stage of the high-speed line soar by £20.6billion to £43billion. In a written statement to Parliament, HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson said half of this figure is due to preparation of the route for construction involving 'more significant challenges than anticipated'. This includes the need to remove more asbestos than expected. Another 'significant cost pressure' worth £400 million has also been identified during the development of designs for Euston station. Mr Stephenson warned that further investigation is being carried out which 'could identify further pressure'. Ministers have been told that Phase One of controversial rail line HS2 could cost £800million more than planned.
