Dramatic moment brawl involving kids as young as 12 punch and kick helpless man as he cowers on the ground
THIS is the dramatic moment a brawl involving kids as young as 12 erupts with them punching and kicking a helpless man cowering on the ground.
Cops were called to the Queen’s Head pub in the market town of Ampthill, Beds, as around 20 yobs set upon the landlord.
Shocking footage shows the man as he is dragged to the ground by the group after kicking them out of the establishment last Friday night.
Despite girls and passers-by’s trying to intervene, the youths continued their attack.
The clip begins with the man and a boy grappling on the ground while others punch, kick and grab at him.
One angry teen can be heard screaming, “Who the f*** are you?” and “Get the f*** off him”.
The victim is then pulled onto his back and punched hard to the face by a boy who appears no older than 12 or 13.
Another boy in a blue hoodie can be seen delivering a powerful right hook to the licensee’s face leaving him stunned.
A glass is also heard smashing off-camera, then an older drinker tells the attackers: “You are out of order.”
He is then confronted by a blonde youth, who repeatedly screams, “Step out of here now” in his face in an apparent offer of a fight.
Bedfordshire Police confirmed officers rushed to the incident at around 9.30pm and said those involved “dispersed quickly”.
Pubs in Ampthill have since banned local sixth-formers and their parents.
Another pub – The Albion – posted: “Due to the incident which happened on Friday 12th May which I am sure most have seen circulating, all participants in that video are banned from the Albion for life along with their parents.”
One local said: “The sixth-formers were out because it was the end of teaching before they start their exams.
“There were some who were over 18 in the pub and others tried to get in. That’s when the trouble started.”
A police spokesman said: “At around 9.30pm on Friday (12 May), police were called to reports of a small fight in Woburn Street, Ampthill.
“Officers in the area attended and the group dispersed quickly.“
