In the picture above, four cars are driving the wrong way on a one way street–as you can see by the cars parked on the right. As often happens in Beirut, they are trying to bully the only law-abiding driver coming the right way, to back up and let them through.
But this guy stood his ground. He refused to budge one inch backward and instead forced all the violators to go in reverse, including the lead offender– a tinted window SUV with yellow diplomatic plates. 
Watch the short video to see what happened next:

  1. Does something happen next besides, as you said, “all the violators [went] in reverse, including the lead offender– a tinted window SUV with yellow diplomatic plates”?

    Good for that guy though, hope he taught them a lesson.
