A Memphis man took his frustration to a new level by destroying a gas pump after being denied access to the station’s bathroom, as revealed in a newly released video.

Surveillance video captured the man in a white Chevy Impala pulling up to the gas station and furiously attacking a pump after being denied bathroom access.

He smashed the pump on the ground and swung it wildly until the nozzle broke off, causing gas to spill out.

Earlier, when first refused entry to the bathroom, he angrily threw a rock at the business’ window. Gas station employees witnessed the entire incident, which occurred on September 16, according to the New York Post.

The man fled the scene and is currently being sought by the Memphis Police Department. He is wanted for vandalism.

The suspect, described as of average height with short dark hair and a chin beard, was wearing a blue shirt, black pants, and blue and neon Nike shoes.
