This is the hilarious moment a frustrated Dutch postman tore down Tour de France barriers stopping him from from finishing his round.

The postal worker first threw his bike over the railings before aggressively pulling them down while he was trying to make deliveries on Saturday - the first day of the race.

He then threatened to knock a female tour official's teeth out while pointing in her face.

The unnamed postman was caught on camera during the rampage in Utrecht in the Netherlands.

He can be heard telling the official, 'I'll knock your teeth out,' before screaming 'F*** off you imbecile,' when two others approached, according to 9News.

A PostNL spokesperson told MailOnline the postman's behaviour was 'not good', adding that it was due to a combination of working hard in the heat, traffic problems and doing part of his colleague's rounds as well as his own.

The Tour de France barriers marked the Grand Depart in Utrecht - the fourth largest city in the Netherlands.
