Wild moment tradies throw punches after violent brawl erupts on work site
A violent brawl involving over a dozen tradies has erupted beside a work site, with one man using his hard hat to bash another in the head.
Workmen dressed in orange and yellow high-vis jackets were seen clashing in footage published on a Facebook page for Guildford, western Sydney, on Tuesday.
Two men appear to close in on another, all of them shoving at each other, before more men joined the fray in a mass of punches.
In a splinter group, one man could be seen removing his work helmet and using it to bash another man over the head.
The altercation appeared to take place on a quiet road, with some tradies watching on from a worksite. No cause for the violence has been shared.
During the minute-long video, at least two men were pushed to the ground, where they appeared to be kicked by someone.
Some individuals could be seen trying to separate participants as those on the sidelines could be heard shouting a range of protests.
One man called the behaviour 'crazy' while another said: 'That's four on one you've got there'.
The man filming the violent brawl was told not to record by another bystander, but he continued anyway, telling the person to 'f*** off!'
Locals took to the comments to share a mix of bemusement and horror.
'See what happens when you mess up the lunch order,' one person joked.
'When you're not the first person on site and try to take over the tunes,' another said.
But others condemned the behaviour, with one commenter branding it 'disgusting'.
'I hope the footage was sent to the police,' they said.
'Disgusting behaviour for people at work,' a second wrote.
Little detail was included in the video description, but one tradie involved in the altercation wore a 'Meriton' high-vis jacket.
