Footage of the moment Carr allegedly launched his kick, at around 5.30am Saturday morning, shows both men go flying after the kick makes contact.
The Australian man, who appears to be bleeding, then jumps onto the front of a moving car before he keeps running, pursued by locals down Jalan Sunset Road in Seminyak.

According to police and multiple witnesses, Carr then approached a Circle K convenience store and broke a glass window, forced his way into the store where he caused damage and stole store clerk Gusti Ayu Erna Dewi's phone.
After that he allegedly broke the glass window of a local restaurant, the Wahaha Warung.
Carr then allegedly kept moving on and entered the house of local man I Nym Purda, whom he assaulted - causing injuries to I Nym's right arm and right leg. He then locked himself in I Nym's room and then left the house through the bedroom window.
The Australian was finally detained by members of the local community, police and security guards outside the Katalina hotel.

In addition to injuring others, Carr himself suffered cuts, bruises and required stitches in his right arm.
Speaking at Kuta Police, a bandaged Carr said he had not taken any drugs and that he remembered "very little" of the evening's events apart from crashing the scooter.
"I was very drunk and I apologise. I don't remember anything at all I just want to apologise to everyone, the victims, the Bali people, to anyone affected by this at all," he said.
He conceded he had drunk ten cocktails and said he was willing to pay compensation to all of the victims of his behaviour.
Police chief Teuku said on Monday the case against the Australian man would continue "even if he and all the victims reach a settlement".
The events of Friday night had begun, the police chief said, in North Kuta when Carr took a scooter.
"We are still investigating whether he took a parked scooter or hijacked it from someone driving. From there he used the scooter and crashed it and started the rampage and ended up in Sunset Road, Seminyak, where he was apprehended by locals," he said.
"We appeal to tourists to not consume alcohol excessively while holidaying in Bali."
"He was taken to Sanglah hospital to see if he suffered mental problems after he was treated for his wounds at Siloam hospital. According to the Sanglah hospital he doesn't have any mental problems, he was just heavily drunk."
