The fight continues with some of the onlookers shouting words of encouragement to the men.

Eventually one of the men stands behind the young girl in an attempt to end the brawl.

It is unclear what started the altercation between the men.

People took to social media to share their disgust at the public fight.

One wrote: ‘It’s crazy how other men are just standing there and not diffusing the situation. Standing with their children is even crazier.’

Another wrote: ‘Behaving like this where women and children are present, despicable behaviour, yes we men need to sort things out from time to time but pick your time and place muppets.’
