No charges laid in London street brawl

A brawl involving more than half a dozen men near a busy London intersection may have slowed traffic, but it didn't lead to any arrests.

The fight took place on Hamilton Road near Adelaide Street Tuesday night. A video, shown below, posted by Reddit user 'TinaGibbins9876' shows traffic at a standstill as two small groups of men begin to fight beside a silver sedan. As one of the men tried to grab for something out of the trunk of the vehicle he is shoved by a shirtless man. A second shirtless man then takes a swing at the first one with what appears to be a tire iron.

At one point an individual involved falls to the ground as fists fly. While there is no audio to accompany the nearly two minutes long video, the men appear to be shouting at one another throughout the ordeal.

The crowd slowly dispersed as the fight fizzled out. It ended with the man with the tire iron beating the side of a commercial vehicle which pulled away. The silver car leaves the scene immediately after.

London police were contacted about the disturbance around 7:15 p.m., said Constable Sandasha Bough.

"Police located all parties involved and all were spoken to. After speaking to everyone, it was deemed to be a consensual fight and no charges were laid as a result," Bough added.

The circumstances that led to the fight are not known.
