Watch moment punter ‘accidentally knocks out his own pal’ with a stool in pub brawl as 3 men, aged 25, 44 & 57, arrested
THIS is the moment a pub brawl took a bizarre turn when a punter appeared to “accidentally” knock out his own pal with a stool.
Three men have been arrested after the fight broke out at The Station in Crossgates, Leeds just before closing time on Saturday.
Footage shared online shows two groups of men being separated by bystanders – before one brawler launched a punch.
Six men are seen joining the ensuing every-man-for-himself scrap in the Greene King pub, with pals quickly turning on each other.
At one point, a brave woman attempted to stop the fight but was repeatedly punched by one of the men.
The men then spread across the room, with one thug picking up a pint glass and throwing it at another man.
Chairs were sent flying across the room to little effect – until one man was knocked out with a stool by a man who had been on his side.
The hapless man was left sprawled on the pub’s debris-littered floor while the other men carried on scrapping.
Three men have been arrested and bailed over the ugly brawl, The Sun has learned.
A source said the brawl was not linked to any football being shown at The Station.
Cops were called to the pub on the eastern outskirts of Leeds shortly after midnight on Sunday.
West Yorkshire Police said: “We received a report of a fight involving several people at The Station in Crossgates.
“Officers attended and three men aged 35, 44 and 57 were arrested in connection with the incident.
The force added: “All three males have since been bailed and enquiries are ongoing.”
A spokesperson for The Station told The Sun: “We do not tolerate any kind of antisocial behaviour in our pub.
“During the incident taking place at the pub late on Saturday night we called the police to attend.
“We do not believe that anyone was injured, and no one was taken to hospital from the pub.
“The safety of our team and customers is of paramount importance to us and this was an isolated incident.”
