Dramatic footage shows a man throwing multiple punches at the bouncer as he leaves Boxpark bar in Camden. Dressed in a hoodie and carrying a backpack, the thug is seen grabbing the man's neck as the pair scramble on the floor. He is then seen trying to throw more punches at the defenceless bouncer, before security guards rush to their pal's aid. As they try and pull the pubgoer away, a crowd of onlookers peer over trying to capture the terrifying moment. The pair are seen scrambling on the floor before security guards detain the man. A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: 'We were called at 10.25pm on Saturday 10th May to reports of an incident in Camden High Street, NW1. 'We sent an ambulance and treated a man before taking him to hospital.' This comes just weeks after a jockey still in his riding gear was bundled into a police car after a pub brawl which left a pensioner fighting for life. The horseman was taken away after a fight broke out between four men in the middle of the day. Fight breaks out in pub before Championship ace gets involved in 'street brawl' A 70-year-old who reportedly tried to break up the brawl was put in a critical but stable condition. The punch-up near the Waggon and Horses pub in Newmarket, Suffolk, prompted a response from five police cars, three ambulances and an air ambulance — ahead of Cheltenham Festival which starts today. A source said: 'People were drinking in the pub when a fight started. "An old chap out celebrating his birthday with his two sons went to break it up. 'It ended up outside and he hit his head on the kerb — everyone thought he was dead. He's still in hospital.' Suffolk Police said its officers were called to reports of a brawl at about 3.40pm, when they found two men with injuries sustained in the fight. 6 The bouncer is seen being thrown to the ground Credit: Jampress 6 Security guards are captured rushing in to help Credit: Jampress

A pint of Guinness in Manchester has just been handed the 'best score a reviewer has ever given'
One of the UK's most popular pint reviewers has just awarded his highest ever score for a pint of Guinness. Schooner Scorer who posts 60 second snippets scoring the best beers across the land has given a Manchester venue an impressive 9.2 out of 10 - his highest ever score - for their pint of perfectly poured Guinness. Alex Hendy, known online as "Schooner Scorer," has gained popularity by posting videos of himself drinking and reviewing pints of beer, typically outside pubs. READ MORE: Owner of £20 cake slice bakery says 'cost of everything is absolutely unbelievable' as he hits out at backlash READ MORE: The canalside bar with a huge beer garden once owned by a famous singer Known for his honest pint reviews and huge following across social media, Schooner Scorer is 'on the search for the best pint', and this latest outing has seen him put Mulligans in Manchester firmly at the top of the table. Already famous for pouring one of the best pints of Guinness outside of Ireland, this latest endorsement is a further boost to Mulligans' reputation among Guinness lovers. "That is smooth, that is creamy, that is pretty bl**dy good," he tells viewers after splitting the G on one of Mulligans' pints. "I tell you what, that is good. The best outside of Ireland? Potentially, you know. "I've had a lot in London recently that have been top tier but this is bl**dy good, I didn't think they could do Guinness in the north of England," he continues. "Look at the cream on the glass, it's absolutely sensational, and in a venue like this, absolutely top tier. "Smooth, creamy, perfect temperature, fast throughput, it's got to be bl**dy high. It's a 9.2." One of Manchester's oldest Irish pubs, the venue dates back to the 1820s with the Waggon and Horses, a name it held up until the 1990s, its most known of former identities. It took on its Mulligans moniker not long after that. Mulligans pours an average of 13,000 pints of The Black Stuff every week, and Pádraig Brady, owner of the venue and a Guinness expert, keeps the trade secrets to his perfected pour close to his chest. However, he previously told the Manchester Evening News that there's a few key ingredients. "There isn't one. You just have to be consistently consistent", Pádraig told us. "There's five or six things you have to do to keep it consistent. We are also fortunate to have a great team of staff led by Peter and Matt who are very aware that you can lose your reputation over a bad pint. "Our pints are good not just 99% of the time, but 101% of the time. And it's got to be consistent from the keg to the customer. 'We are not reinventing the wheel. But I do serve the pints in a tulip glass, and I bring them over from Ireland. It's about a clean glass and clean lines as well." It's not just Schooner Scorer who reckons it's pint is one of the best though. Last month we tasked M.E.N. readers with telling us their favourite spot for a pint of Guinness and it'll be of little surprise that Mulligans came out as one of the top. 'Best Guinness in town by far,' one reader explained of their admiration for the venue. Another said: 'The atmosphere trumps most other pubs.' One other said: 'Best Guinness, great range of Irish Whisky.' Explaining their reasons for why it's their favourite when it comes to the Irish cold stout, another reader said: 'Smooth, perfectly poured, creamy Guinness.' Similarly, one other said: 'It's a proper creamer!'
