A chaotic brawl between two groups of young men at a Gold Coast food hall on Australia Day was captured on camera by shocked onlookers. 

Chairs were thrown during the fight at the Australia Fair Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast about 4.15pm. 

A group of young men, one of whom was shirtless, faced off against another group next to grocery trolley piled with supplies and a Nike backpack.

One man in a white t-shirt attempted to kick a rival in the head but the blow was swatted away before he then picked up a wooden chair and smashed it on the ground.

‘I’ll do the same f***ing thing c***,’ the target of the assault replied before he picked up a chair of his own and smashed it on the ground next to the opposing group.

‘What are you going to do you f***ing dog,’ he challenged, ‘What? I’m getting food.’

‘Get the f*** out of here then,’ the first man replied.

Another member of the group then intervened and broke up the fight before anyone was injured.

Queensland Police confirmed officers attended the incident and a local 20-year-old Mudgeeraba man was arrested. 

He was charged with wilful damage and will front Southport Magistrates Court on February 11.
