Some held up tables and used them as a defensive shield, while others were swinging the chairs and using them as weapons

Onlookers can be heard saying: 'What are they doing?' and 'That's so bad, that is' as the groups clash

Some held up tables and used them as a defensive shield, while others were swinging the chairs and using them as weapons. 

Onlookers can be heard saying: 'What are they doing?' and 'That's so bad, that is' as the groups clash.

After an initial flurry, the scrap then spilled off the pavements and into the main road. 

After exchanging blows, the video shows two of the men fall to the ground in the street.

As some try and run to safety, others continue to brawl, with one man tumbling into a parked car.

Traffic on the road grinds to a halt before the fight finally begins to wind down.

It is unclear what caused the brawl to erupt in the first place.
