Shoppers were left stunned after a violent fight broke out at a packed shopping centre in Sydney‘s south, before a woman stepped in to scald the young men and break up the brawl.
Footage filmed by shopper Denize Ana shows a man in a black singlet involved in a fist fight with another man in a grey top outside Dusk at Miranda Westfield, as the woman yelled at the pair to ‘stop’.
The man in black then shrugged off the other man and walked towards Everyday Kitchen before he appeared to be coward punched from behind, slumping against the wall between the two stores.
His friend then attacked the puncher as a third man joined in, while another female bystander ordered the three to ‘Take it outside and f*** off’.
