Austrian sky diver Felix Baumgartner has been convicted of punching a lorry driver during a road-rage incident in 2010. Baumgartner was driving in Salzburg when he overtook a queue of four cars waiting at a roundabout, only for his car to become wedged in front of the other drivers.

The reality is that he punched me full in the face with his fist and left me with a cut. There was blood everywhere. I never tried to conceal anything in court – I admitted that I had tried to kick him but it was only in retaliation. He was just acting the tough guy and showing off and making himself a hero, but he isn’t a hero at all.

Baumgartner had appealed the conviction but has now officially lost, and was ordered to pay €1 500.
