CCTV shows the ladder propped up against the three-storey house which was tied to a door with rope for extra stability.

However it is believed the OAP, who is believed to sell incese at the Palao market, became enraged because the rope was blocking his path.
The video sees the pensioner in the wheelchair grab hold of the ladder and shake it furiously with both hands sending Mr Sanchez crashing onto the concrete.
Suddenly a pedestrian rushes over with his dog as the elderly man, known locally for being rude, waves his hands in the air to justify his actions.
