A man has been arrested after he allegedly sparked a violent brawl outside an eatery.
The shirtless 29-year-old was caught on video allegedly throwing punches at countless people on Grote Street, near Adelaide‘s Central Market, around 4pm on Saturday.
Witnesses claim the man had been refused service at a restaurant, which caused him to allegedly start swinging his fists at anybody who was within reach.
Staff are understood to have refused his request for a drink, which allegedly sent him into a wild rage.
The man allegedly threw multiple chairs and assaulted at least one person as bystanders attempted to calm him down during the episode.
He was seen with a blood-soaked face as 10 others worked out how best to subdue him.
Eventually the group was able to pin the man to the ground as police made their way to the scene.
Officers arrived within minutes and the man has since been charged with one count of aggravated assault causing harm.
