A TV presenter in Dubai got a shock when a two hungry camels poked their heads through his car window and tried to steal some bread.

Ahmad Salayem was sitting in the front passenger's seat about to address the camera in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, when the humped animals interrupted his broadcast.

Two camels could be seen standing near his window, ready to pounce before he started speaking during the clip taken September 1.

As Salayem said, 'good morning, good evening good afternoon...' one of the adventurous pair burst through the open window and began aggressively trying to snatch a piece of bread out of his left hand.

The sudden attack caused the presenter to trail off as he wriggled out of the way to duck out of the animal's advances.

 

Salayem could be heard saying to the camera as the camels tried to muscle their way to the food, 'good afternoo-oo-oon', as he then repeatedly yelled out during the struggle to continue his piece to camera. 

In a bid to stop the hungry beasts, Salayem tried to push one back and give it the bread in his hands.

But the insatiable camels continued their assault and tried to grab a second roll the presenter had picked up.

He valiantly tried to carry on with the broadcast during his battle of wills with the camel, saying to the camera 'hello, how are you? We are still here...'

But his efforts were in vain as he was harassed by the starving beast, and then yelled out 'camel' as the pair continued to wrestle through the car window.

Salayem again tried to feed the camels some bread and they appeared to leave the vehicle when the video ended.
