Moment brunch event with tickets turns into ‘Wild West’ brawl with flying fists and shattering glasses – as two people are arrested

This is when a ticketed “brunch” event devolves into a “Wild West” brawl, as punches are thrown and glasses smashed in a pub beer garden.

Police were called to the Pointing Dog in Cheadle Hulme, near Manchester, on Saturday night after the rally turned violent.

Footage shows several men punching, kicking and shoving each other, some standing on tables while others tried to calm down the situation.

Officers arrested two men aged 28 and 29 on suspicion of a fight. They have since been released on bail pending further inquiries. No one was hurt.

Dusk 7, who hosted the event, admitted in a statement on social media that they “got some things wrong” and that “lessons have been and will be learned,” but it’s not clear what they’re referring to.
