Shocking footage shows boozy men in a terrifying punch-up at Royal Ascot

One racegoer was KO’d during the huge brawl at the posh racecourse

Chairs, tables and drinks went flying in the terrifying punch-up as bloodied racegoers pounded each other.

Horrified onlookers ran for cover as the violence spilled into a seated bar area.

One man in a three-piece suit was left sprawled face down and motionless on the turf.

As security helped the bloodied man to his feet, one woman is heard screaming: “He’s got a bottle!” Another man then runs towards him.

The carnage took place in Ascot’s Windsor Enclosure – the economy section of the Berkshire racecourse — on Friday. Her Majesty was cheering on her two runners.

One witness said: “There is always fisticuffs at big events like this when the drink is flowing but this one looked really nasty.”

No arrests were made but cops later made three arrests as two groups exchanged blows.
