Footage shared online shows disarray outside the Slug & Lettuce in Watford during a brawl.

A passer-by recorded the chaotic clash in The Parade at around 12.30am on Saturday (May 18).

In the video, a smaller scuffle appears to start further out in the street before some of those involved moved back within the Slug & Lettuce’s outdoor area and charged into a crowd.

Two men ended up on the ground and when they got back up punches began flying immediately and the area descended into chaos.

Security were able to quickly grab a hold of some of those involved but others kept swinging fists. One man was pushed through the barriers and dragged away by a leg while another was thrown down onto the concrete face first.

Herts Police have confirmed they were called to the scene with reports of a clash between around 10 people in Watford High Street, at around 12.35am.
