Ukrainian drinkers fight with bare-chested men in bar

A dramatic video has emerged online showing a violent bar brawl in Ukraine where punters end up smashing everything in sight.

Seemingly recorded at the end of the night, CCTV footage shows bar staff cleaning glasses, when a group of men approach the bar.

It appears as if they are demanding to be served, but are refused. Within seconds, half-a-dozen of the guests begin fighting, with the dispute centering around a large man in a checkered shirt.

His opponents tear it off his back, and he manages to climb over the bar top. 

At first, he takes refuge under a sink, but due to his large frame, the entire sink is dislodged from the bar. 

He then emerges brandishing a wine bottle as a weapon.

Security steps in and manages to calm the situation, but the fight soon kicks off again when one of the men on the other side of the bar hurls a glass at the man in the chequered shirt.

Wine bottles and more glasses are thrown, and another man, possibly someone in charge in the bar, walks in to defuse the situation once more, holding up his arms and shouting for calm.

This has the opposite effect, with a handful of men now making their way in behind the bar and attacking the man in the chequered shirt, forcing the manager to scramble to get out of the way.

Projectiles and knuckles are flying and the brawling men start using anything not nailed down to beat each other up, including a tray, a bar stool and drinking vessels.

Danger: The victim ducks as glasses and liquids are thrown at him, his shirt torn to shreds on the floor of the bar

By now, the man in the chequered shirt has had his top ripped off, and begins to fight back bare chested, whacking his attackers with what is left of a chair.

He has suffered several cuts on his chest and back due to all the broken glass. 

He is now alone behind the bar but is forced to duck as both liquids and glasses keep being flung at him as a goodbye-gesture from his opponents.

The end of the CCTV shows him trying to wipe the blood and booze off himself, as he throws his arms out as if to say ‘what did I do?’
