A BUSKER captured punching a heckler in the face says he's not proud of what he did, but the man had crossed a boundary in antagonising him.
Video of a Queensland busker David Mulder punching a heckler in the face has become a hit in more ways than one, going viral and racking up more than 400,000 views in a matter of hours.
In the 35 second YouTube video, uploaded last night, Mr Mulder is shown doing his routine on Surfers Paradise shopping strip Cavill Ave, before being taunted by a male passer by.
After being poked and prodded for 20 seconds, even receiving a saliva-soaked finger in his ear, Mr Mulder finally snaps and punches the young man in the face, to gasps from the crowd.
Mr Mulder told Channel Nine that the man had "crossed a boundary" after he stuck a wet finger in his ear, but that he didn't condone violence and would apologise to the man if he had the chance.
The man taunted the busker on Cavil Ave in Surfers Paradise.
"It (punching someone) is not a thing I want to do or even profess I like doing," he said.
"He was in the wrong, but at the same time I was in the wrong for striking out. Violence is never vindicated."
Brisbane student Richard Choeun, 21, said he was "shocked" to capture the incident while filming his 12-year-old cousin interacting with the busker on a family holiday last Saturday.
"When it happened we stopped recording because we were a bit concerned, the guy was bleeding from the mouth,'' he said.
The man poked and prodded the busker as he performed for shoppers.
"He walked over to his friends, he stood there for a bit and then he just walked away. I think he knew he was being an idiot.
"The busker pretty much just went back to his performance, he was great.
"Everyone in the crowd was really shocked, they didn't say anything, they were really surprised. I think they knew that he deserved it so they didn't really care.''
Mr Choeun said he was "very surprised'' when the video went viral, prompting phone calls and emails from global media organisations such as NBC and The Huffington Post.
After being taunted for about 20 seconds, the busker lost it and punched the man in the face.
"I only uploaded it for fun to show my Facebook friends, then I wake up and there's like 10,000 views on it and I'm being contacted by media,'' he said.
