Now, 'extremely inebriated' Toronto mayor Rob Ford caught in video rant threatening to kill

Disgraced Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who recently admitted to smoking crack cocaine, has now apologised after a video of him showed him making threats to commit 'first-degree murder' against an unknown person.

Ford told reporters he had been 'extremely inebriated' in the clip, which shows him apparently blowing off steam.

According to the BBC, in the video the leader of Canada's biggest city was seen ranting, swearing and using threatening language.

After the video emerged, Ford said he's sorry, but didn't address many unanswered questions such as when was the video recorded, who was he talking to, who was it about - and will there be any more revelations around the corner?

In the clip, an agitated Ford paces a room gesticulating during a foul-mouthed rant.

The context of the clip is not clear, nor is the victim of Ford's anger.

Ford was seen vowing to rip out the person's throat, poke out his eyes and ensure his victim is dead.

The mayor appears upset at someone who has called him and his brothers "liars, thieves".
