Shocking moment Leeds dads fight in field near Benton Park School in front of screaming kids

A pair of dads brawled in a field surrounded by screaming schoolchildren in Leeds in a fight believed to be over their sons.

West Yorkshire Police attended Benton Park School after the two men traded blows in a field beside the school. The pupils were caught on camera shouting and egging the pair on excitedly yesterday (May 9) before 3pm.

A staff member attempted to break up the fight and parents asked them to stop - but there was no stopping the angry fathers. During the clash, a group of pupils can also be seen punching and shoving each other and a fight also breaks out between two young boys.

The other pupils egged them on as they landed blows and wrestled each other to the ground. The dads then start fighting again, much to the enjoyment of the teens around them, reports The Mirror.

Police were called to the fight, which didn't take place on school grounds, but made no arrests as the crowd was quickly dispersed. West Yorkshire Police said: "Shortly before 3pm police received reports of a fight taking place off Harrogate Road, Rawdon. The incident dispersed after a short time and no injuries were reported."
