CCTV captures violent mass brawl in Leeds bar

The dramatic moment that a 20-person "mass brawl" broke out at a bar in Leeds was captured by police.

Men can be seen throwing chairs, along with punches. One man was arrested after the incident at The Arc Bar in Headingley.

“The video shows how there was very little that the bar’s security could do to control the situation," said Detective Inspector James Entwistle of West Yorkshire Police. "It was clearly a shocking thing for staff and other people in the bar to witness."
