Famous Bulgarian bodybuilder Dimitar Hodzhev, better known as Mityo the Jack, has been charged with hooliganism after taking the law into his hands and brutally settling scores with a car that just scratched his jeep.
Hodzhev was detained on Saturday after a Volkswagen Golf lightly bumped into his jeep Nissan, making him angry enough to smash with his fists the car lights and bang upon the windshield.
After the violent outburst, Hodzhev, who was travelling with his wife, left the scene, flagrantly refusing to wait for the police to come.
The driver of the car lodged a complaint with the police, which detained Hodzhev for twenty-four hours.
The bodybuilder has threatened to sue the car driver in a public trial to prove that "such famous people like him" can not be blackmailed.
He went as far as to say he is giving up his Bulgarian citizenship.
