A viral video has captured the moment a bloke was walloped over the head with a crutch during a wild brawl outside of a pub. <\/p>\n
The shocking video, which has begun circulating online, shows a man, wearing a green top and black joggers, trading blows with another clad in a black jacket and grey bottoms.<\/p>\n
The second man tries to land a headbutt but misses and they continue to exchange punches \u2013 but both of the seemingly intoxicated men failed to make impact. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
An older bystander suddenly tries to intervene and wrestle the man in the green top off the other lad whose jacket was discarded.<\/p>\n
The ugly clash carried on for over a minute with stunned witnesses \u2013 including children and a woman holding onto crutch \u2013 watching on in horror.<\/p>\n

It is not known if the duo were drinking at The Raby, but the boozer previously had a bad reputation of being where many 'feared to be inside', reported ChronicleLive.<\/p>\n
A decade ago it was raided, with a stash of bogus booze and knock-off cigarettes seized.<\/p>\n
When a new landlady then came in and barred the troublemakers, she was attacked by two women.<\/p>\n
