After one of the neighbours posted a black cross on the other’s fence “because his family had Covid,” a humorous altercation broke out between the two neighbours.
Two guys from North London can be seen fighting in the alleyway between their two homes in a video that was posted on Twitter.
The guy in the red t-shirt gestures to a black cross that resembles a ‘crucifix’ and shouts, “You do this s**t again and your f***ed,” seeming agitated.
The guy in the red t-shirt then slams against the wall as the two slap each other and continue to fight.
After ripping his neighbor’s t-shirt, he then dramatically collapses to the ground.
While attempting to calm the duo down from the upstairs window, the wife of the guy in the black t-shirt who was filming the altercation kept saying, “I’ve got everything on video, I’ve got it on camera.”
She then calls the emergency services and requests an ambulance and cops.
We need assistance here, she can be heard stating in the footage.
My neighbour entered the room and immediately began abusing my spouse. Help is needed. Please do come, really.
“Now that the neighbour is down, my husband pushed him over because he came over to assault us – I’ve got everything on tape,” the woman said.
Before his neighbour who had shoved him over can be seen heading back to him, asking him if he’s “alright,” and then assisting him in getting back up off the ground, the guy in the red shirt can be seen writhing on the floor for a bit.
Before assisting him back inside his residence, he asks him again whether he is okay while stroking his chest.
It’s unclear what started the argument, but social media users think it started when the guy in the black t-shirt pasted a cross on his neighbor’s door while under the influence of Covid.
As one Twitter user put it, “The red shirt and his family have Covid and are out and about without quarantine.” “Black shirt with a black cross for COVID-19.”
When the video was published in August of last year, COVID-19 was still widespread nationwide and self-isolation was still required by law.
The man in the red shirt didn’t like the cross on the other bloke’s gate, a different user said.
For more than four minutes, the fight went on, even catching the attention of a dog who peered out the window to see what was happening.
The woman begged the emergency services to send an ambulance and “some force to hold” the guy in the red t-shirt down as she urgently begged them to do so.
Bring an ambulance, she urged, “because the neighbour is out of his mind, he fell down, and now he’s just, I think he’s drunk, because he came to attack my husband.
He was out of his mind. When my husband came down to see what was happening, he started shouting and attacking, and now he’s back in his house.”
Before the video cut off, she responded to an unidentified inquiry by saying, “They all had Covid, two weeks ago, and he was still going to work, he was still going out, and my husband warned him if he doesn’t…
On social media, many laughed out loud at the video.
“Great commentary from the wife,” one person said. The dog had to take a look, too.
Crash bang wallop, what a video, said another.
