Shocking footage shows a mass fight break out in London, with brawlers branded "thugs" after the clip was viewed thousands of times on social media.
A group of men clashed in Stratford, in the east of the capital, in video that appears to have been taken over the Bank Holiday weekend.
In the clip, a man wearing a black T-shirt punches another man in the face, and he falls to the ground.
The scuffle continues nearby when other people step in, and another man falls to the ground – where he is kicked at.
Several men get involved in the tussle while other onlookers attempt to break things up.
It is unclear what happened after the video ends.
The footage was shared on Twitter where it has been viewed more than 50,000 times.
Viewers were quick to mock the strange incident, joking about the fighters’ apparent state of inebriation.
One person said: “Oh he was drunk there we go then.”
“They drink too much,” another viewer agreed.
Someone else commented: “Alcohol lol.” [sic]
It is unclear what sparked the fight, or whether anyone was injured in the incident.
Meanwhile, other users appeared confused at the strange clip, describing the group as “thugs”.
One person asked: “What is going on here?”
“Why these peoples hitting each others?” asked another viewer. [sic]
Someone else joked: “Doncha just luv British pub culture.” [sic]
Another viewer was concerned by the lack of Covid-19 safety measures.
They said: “Let’s hope they see the error of their ways and wear masks next time they’re out and about.”
The Met Police has been contacted for comment, but no details were immediately available.
