This is the moment four men brawled in the middle of the road in central London, bringing traffic to a standstill.
The bust-up was filmed in Picadilly Circus, one of London’s busiest shopping districts on Monday afternoon.

A third male intervenes and knocks down two men with a single punch – sending him crashing into the middle of the road.

As the man struggles to recover from the vicious blow, a fourth male enters the fight and punches the assailant in retaliation.
