A strongman was forced to take matters into his own hands during a parking dispute – when he moved a Vauxhall Corsa that was blocking his aunt’s drive.
Hakan Acar, 23, has been nicknamed ‘the Tulk’, short for the Turkish Hulk, due to his strength but he got a surprise workout last week on September 24.
He claims his aunt Abi Mustafa was involved in a month-long row with her neighbour after she left her car in front of their house – despite it being a public road.

She was forced to ring her super-sized nephew when she discovered her neighbours had parked across her driveway apparently for revenge.
When Mrs Acar was unable to resolve the ‘petty’ quarrel and the neighbours allegedly refused to budge their vehicle, the Tulk was forced to move it for them.
Footage shows him lifting the Vauxhall Corsa’s front end and pushing it out of the way on his own – even kicking off his shoes to gain traction.
The neighbours are now complaining he damaged their motor and police are investigating allegations of criminal damage.
Mr Acar, from Luton, said: ‘I said to the guy opposite: “either you’re going to move the car, or I’m going to move the car”.
‘He said in response “I will call the police” but I didn’t mind, because I knew blocking somebody’s driveway is just not the right thing to do.

‘They had put it there deliberately to block my auntie in. It was an act of revenge because they don’t like where she parks and that’s just not fair.
‘I was worried that the hand brake might have been on – and I was trying to work out whether it was front or rear wheel drive. Then it just started moving.
‘I’m quite a calm person – I’m not an angry person at all but hearing the way he spoke to my auntie just upset me a bit.
‘To be honest I didn’t go over with the intention of actually pushing the car in the first place. I just wanted to see how heavy it was but then I realised I could move it.
‘I’ve pulled eight and a half tonne trucks before so a one tonne Corsa wasn’t going to be a problem.
‘My cousin started coming over to help me push it. However as I lifted it, it just started moving and I knew I’d got it going. It turned out I’d moved it before my cousin could even make it over.’

The parking dispute has allegedly been rumbling on for more than a month after Abi began parking outside her neighbours’ house.
Mr Acar said: ‘My auntie and I see each other every day. That day I got a call from her.
‘She said that the people opposite had just parked in front of her drive – blocking her in.
‘The thing is the neighbours opposite don’t have a driveway and my auntie parked her car in front of their house.
‘She said she can park there because there isn’t a driveway. The people opposite don’t like her parking there but she says she’s every right to because there’s no drive. It causes no problems for them, so it just feels petty to me.
‘So in retaliation they put their car in front of my auntie’s drive, which blocked her in. They did this deliberately.

‘We spoke to the woman in the house opposite and she was okay but her boyfriend started swearing and cursing saying ‘well I’m not going to move my car until you move yours’.
‘That’s when I thought I would attempt to move it.’
Bedfordshire Police confirmed they were now investigating a report of criminal damage to a vehicle at the location and Mr Acar fears it is because of his stunt.
He said: ‘All I can think is that they have accused me of damaging their car when I moved it.
‘It’s a shame they are doing this. I hoped we had resolved it the other day as we have not heard anything since. However if they are claiming this, they will be carrying it on.
‘I hoped it was all resolved now, we don’t want any trouble and my auntie never wanted to cause anyone any problems in the first place.
‘I know the car is not damaged. I moved it out of the way but it is fine so this just feels childish.’

Bedfordshire Police said: ‘We were called at 4.42pm on Sunday September 24 to reports of a dispute over parking in Luton. Two PCSOs attended and spoke to residents to give advice about considerate and safe parking.
‘Officers are now investigating a report of criminal damage to a vehicle at the location.
‘PCSOs will continue to engage with both parties as well partners to work towards a resolution.
‘Bedfordshire Police does not enforce parking restrictions – this is the responsibility of the local authority.’
The neighbours were approached for comment.
