WATCH: Eto'o violently attacks man at the World Cup

Shocking footage has emerged of Cameroon Football Federation president Samuel Eto'o violently attacking a fan outside the stadium following Brazil's 4-1 win over South Korea.

The clip doing the rounds initially shows the former FC Barcelona star happily posing for photos with fans before he exchanges a few words with one supporter, which appears to prompt a different reaction from the African legend.

Eto'o then proceeds to push the fan and seemingly make a move to harm him.

Various bystanders try to step in and stop the potential fight, but the 2022 FIFA World Cup legacy ambassador appears insistent on confronting the man.

As many as four men are seen attempting to hold Eto'o back, but the African legend then hands his phone to another bystander, before kicking the fan in the face and knocking him to the floor.

The unknown civilian, believed to to be an Algerian YouTuber, was then helped to his feet and appeared to be relatively unscathed from the blow, while Eto'o had to be held back from inflicting further damage.

According to Algerian journalist Maher Mezahi, Eto'o may have felt he was insulted by the fan, who is said to have brought up the contentious decisions that were made when Cameroon defeated Algeria in the World Cup qualifiers in March. 

Since that two-legged affair, the legendary footballer has reportedly often been labelled as a "cheater" in public by Algerian fans, which could be a reason as to why the veteran reacted in the manner he did.
