Members of a Polish village tormented by a hoon driver have taken revenge by hoisting the young man's hotted-up car onto the top of a tree.

Unlicenced street racer Zbigniew Filo, 24, had enraged residents of Lubczyna for months by speeding around in his white Ford Escort, making noise and putting locals' lives at risk with his thrill-seeking antics, the Mirror reports.

A police spokesman said they received a call from a man who said his car was stuck in a tree and his neighbours had put it there.

"After inspecting the site we instructed him to remove it from the tree," he added.

No one has claimed responsibility for the prank but one villager said another man's mobile crane had been borrowed the night before the car was relocated.

A neighbour said he supported the vigilante justice because Mr Filo was a reckless driver and could have killed someone.

"Perhaps he'll think twice about his hair-raising driving and about getting a licence or who knows where his next car might end up?"

Mr Filo took said he got the message but added "it was a bit harsh".
