The clip was originally published on Snapchat on Sunday by a user called ‘Ishaam’ and has since been shared across Instagram.

It remains unclear why the violent brawl started. 

Three men can be seen kicking and punching two males standing on the back of a sofa before they lose their balance and fall on top of nearby tables, spilling trays of food and drink over the floor.

As they continue to fight, a bewildered customer attempts to stop the fight which has now descended into chaos.
