Shocking video footage has emerged of a drunken brawl involving a bald, shirtless man that broke out as punters were sipping champagne on Royal Ascot’s Ladies’ Day.

The clip shows a crowd of people gathered next to a flattened fence, as two men tussle on one of the lawns at the famous Berkshire racecourse.

A man in a white shirt picks himself up and is led away but the shirtless man comes after him with his fists raised.

Despite attempts by the crowd to calm him, he is heard to say “let’s finish it off, me and you”.

The pair square up again, but the man in the white shirt does not seem to want to continue the confrontation.

In chaotic scenes, further video footage shows an enraged lady in a white dress apparently slapping another woman.

The camera then pans to show a third woman fall on the floor in a puddle of spilled drink.

Ascot security broke up the fight, which happened after the last race yesterday.

The clips, which have been retweeted thousands of times, were posted on Twitter by Dan Ingram, with the captions “ROYAL ASCOT... The queen is here” and “GOD SAVE THE QUEEN”.

An Ascot spokesman said: “It is disappointing when an antisocial small minority behave inappropriately."

“In a crowd of 70,000 sadly such incidences are hard to entirely eradicate but our staff and the police act on information as soon as they can.”
