In another video taken from a different angle inside the hotel, the person driving the digger can be heard yelling about money.
"600 fucking quid!" shouts the man. "All you had to do was pay me my fucking £600!"
A final video filmed outside the building shows the driver fleeing the digger and running into the distance.
Merseyside Police confirmed in an online update that they'd received a report of the incident shortly before 3pm on Monday.
"One man experienced eye irritation due to exposure to diesel and was treated at the scene by North West Ambulance Service," reads the police update. "It is not believed anyone else was injured during the incident."
Mashablereached out to Travelodge, who said they're unable to comment as the incident is a live police investigation. They also clarified that the site is not yet a Travelodge property.
Mashablereached out to a member of the development team who currently own the site, and will update this article if we receive a response.
