However, he waved a voluminous dildo under Al Bano's chin, instead of the canonical microphone. After a moment of confusion and a few more meters of driving the car, Al Bano got out of the vehicle, stormed towards the alleged reporter and addressed her: “You idiot! You suck!“. But that wasn't enough: the singer finally approached the woman threateningly and gave her a slap violent blow between head and neck before being stopped by other passers-by.
