Shocking moment huge brawl erupts at beer garden with drinks and ice buckets thrown

Shocking footage shows the moment a huge brawl breaks out at a beer garden, with punches thrown and drinks hurled.

Incredibly, no-one was injured during the melee, which happened at the Sanctuary nightclub in Glasgow at around 7pm on Saturday night.

Staff at the club were forced to call police after objects were hurled across the beer garden, including an ice bucket, with those involved appearing to ignore social distancing rules.

Stunned onlookers watched on in horror as dozens fought each other in what was described as "unacceptable behaviour".

The owners of the Sanctuary club have condemned those involved, and promised to bar those responsible.

A spokesperson told Glasgow Live : "The sanctuary staff and management are appalled by the behaviour of a small minority of customers who have shown no regard for the safety and well-being of those around them.

"We will work with the police to ensure those responsible are dealt with appropriately and they will be barred from the venue. At anytime this behaviour unacceptable but never more so when faced with the current situation.

"Stewards quickly intervened. Police were called and groups dispersed safely and separately.

"Sanctuary is committed to providing a safe covid secure environment through digital temperature checks and 2m distancing in line with government guidance. Full track and trace data was collected.

"No one was injured and anyone involved is barred.

"The safety of our customers is paramount."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We received a report to make us aware of a disturbance at a nightclub on Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, around 7.40pm on Saturday, 29 August.

"The incident was reported to have happened around 7pm, it was believed there were no injuries, the incident wasn't ongoing and the group had left.

"Due to the information given by the reporter and other ongoing incidents, no police attendance was required."
