An elderly Nebraska man has been booked on suspicion of criminal mischief after he was caught on camera attacking a cement truck with a hammer. 

Thomas Mailander, 70, was filmed doing damage to the mixer which was pouring concrete across the street from his home in Omaha last Thursday.

The retiree was allegedly angered by the fact that a separate vehicle - a white Chevy pick-up - had parked up on his front lawn. 

He seemingly decided to take out his rage on the concrete truck, which just happened to be nearby.

The clip - which has been viewed 194,000 times on social media - was filmed by one of the men laying the concrete and begins with Mailander tottering out of his home with a hammer in hand.  

He walks across the street and begins bashing the front lights of the concrete truck, before yelling: 'I want that truck off my lawn!' 

An irate Mailander is seen continuing to hit the mixer with the hammer before he walks to the back of the vehicle.

Awkwardly he steps in wet cement, and suddenly becomes stuck in the thick substance.

The 70-year-old then falls over in the freshly-laid cement, before finally managing to  push himself free. 

'Everything all right?' one of the men mixing concrete then asks Mailander.

Seen with white concrete all over his hands and knees, an indignant Mailander yells: 'Everything all right? Does everything look all right you dumb f**k? I want that truck off my lawn!'

The clip ends with the construction workers replying that they have no idea who owns the white Chevy pick-up. 

According to Omaha World-Herald, police soon arrived on the scene to issue Mailander with a ticket on suspicion of criminal mischief.

The citation is reportedly based on $500 to $1,500 in damage. However, if costs caused by Mailander's  damage top more than that amount, he could be charged with a felony.  

The paper reports that the white Chevy pick-up belonged to the son of a neighbor and was not owned by any of the men working for the concrete company.  

In addition to damaging the concrete mixer, Mailander also reportedly slashed the tires on the Chevy. 

He has not publicly commented on his meltdown.
