Shocking moment brawl breaks out on busy street involving man ‘doing balloons’ – before driver tries to run another over
SHOCKING footage shows a driver trying to run a man over after a brawl broke out on a busy street.
Gas cylinders were allegedly lobbed in the fight, which appeared to involve a man doing balloons.
The punch-up erupted in broad daylight just before 11am on Saturday in Ashton-under-Lyne near Manchester.
A witness who filmed it said a BMW and Vauxhall were driving in opposite directions down the road – before both suddenly stopping.
They told the Manchester Evening News a man got out of the BMW and threw a “gas cylinder” at the Vauxhall.
Phone footage shows a man running towards the Vauxhall and pushing the driver’s door shut to stop the driver getting out.
But a leg shoots out of the car window as the driver tries to kick the man.
A man in the Vauxhall’s passenger seat then gets out – with a fully-inflated balloon hanging from his mouth.
The passenger then launches a canister at the man attacking the driver.
The man who charged at the Vauxhall then flees down the road – before returning with a canister in hand.
The driver ducks before his passenger appears to throw a canister, narrowly missing their opponent’s head.
Footage then shows the Vauxhall chasing a man down the road – circling before driving straight at him.
Greater Manchester Police has been contacted for comment.
