Huge brawl at lavish wedding which left three injured sparked by 'flirting'

A huge brawl which broke out at a wedding is said to have started when a guest started flirting with other guests, it has been claimed.

Footage of the wide scale disorder at the Ramada Park Hall Hotel in Wolverhampton has been shared all over the world.

The shocking fight broke out at the lavish wedding on October 12.

Screams and shouting can be heard filling the air as they scrap at around 9.30pm, Birmingham Live reports .

The original video footage shows men pushing, punching and pulling at each moments before the fight outside.

A teenage hotel worker was treated for a medical condition and injuries and two men in their 20s were taken to hospital with injuries sustained in the incident.

Shocked viewers from around the globe, who have watched the video, have criticised the brawling men for their 'despicable' actions.

Witness Tyson Leon – who owns TLG Management – said he popped over to see his friend who was working at a nearby venue when the violence kicked off.

He said: "You could see the tension building and building but none of the security, who were private, did nothing to stop the problems – it was chaos.

"But all of a sudden it erupted and there was a massive fight and none of the guards stepped into to stop it.

"People had been glassed, kicked and punched. The organisation was shambles."

Mr Leon, who runs the security firm, said the brawl began after a guest was 'flirting with other guests'.

Speaking at the time, a spokesman from the  global hotel chain  condemned the violence and revealed the families of the bride and groom had offered to pay for the damages in full.

The spokesman said: "Having hosted hundreds of weddings we have never seen scenes like this.

"We do not accept this behaviour and would like to praise the quick thinking of our team who immediately contacted the emergency services.

"We’re in close liaison with all staff members who were present on the night and are ensuring that they get all the support they need."

West Midlands Police have confirmed that they are still investigating.

They said: “Anyone with information is asked to contact us via Live Chat at   www.west-midlands.police.uk   between 8am and midnight, or call 101 anytime.

“To remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Quote crime reference 20WV/241903A/19.”
