This is the moment a group of guys brawled in the street and threw fists at one another after a fight broke out in front of astonished families and children in a beach town.
Footage of the incident, which was published online, shows the guys fighting at a car park in East Beach, Shoeburyness, near Southend, Essex.
The savage assault is said to have taken place Friday night shortly before 8:30 p.m. in front of shocked bystanders at the well-known beach resort.
Although they have not yet made any arrests or located the claimed victim, police are still looking into the event.
The video begins with two guys arguing in the parking lot while a third man comes in between them to try to mediate the situation.
As the situation becomes worse, you can see cars going by and other people strolling by.
As a fourth guy approaches from behind and assaults the same man, one of the men, who is shirtless, squares up to him and strikes.
The two assailants then pulled the guy they were going to the ground and began hitting him.
Screaming can be heard in the background as a throng, including a few youngsters, starts to assemble.
