Beers and champagne in the sun got a bit much for some revellers at Royal Ascot as high spirits descended into a bloody brawl between two young men.
A shocking video has emerged online of a duo, who were suited and booted, viciously swinging punches at one another, at the prestigious Berkshire event.
For a short moment, the pair grip each other before one plummeted to the ground after being hit once again.
Stunned attendees at the racing event were left staring in horror, as a group of men attempt to separate the brawling pair.
The group could briefly be heard telling the fighting men: ‘Stop, stop, boys.’
While one man, dressed in a grey suit, was dragged away, the other was picked up from the ground with blood gushing from his face.
The bloodied racegoer wiped his visage and then bloodied his cream trousers as he seemingly yelled at the man he had fought only moments before.
It is not clear exactly what transpired before or after the fight took place at the famous racecourse.

MailOnline has approached Thames Valley Police for comment.
Last year, a separate brawl broke out leaving one racegoer covered in blood after two men wrestled each other to the ground.
One man had to be restrained by onlookers as he tried to kick another racegoer who was on the floor.
The second man, who was wearing a brown suit, was then led away from the brawl with a bloody nose.
The shocked crowd could be heard shouting ‘easy, easy’ in the video that has been shared widely on social media.

Winning jockey Lee told ITV: ‘When she ran the first time at Carlisle she did it very nicely.
‘She was very babyish, wasn’t quite switched on, but after that first run she’s come on by maybe 20 lbs. We knew at home that we had a very good filly.
‘Fingers crossed for the rest of the day. It’s not easy – you come here thinking you have a great chance but there are 20 others like that.’
Yesterday, some attendees looked rather worse for wear after leaving the venue after Ladies Day on the hottest day of the year so far.
The term Ladies Day was first used in 1823 after an anonymous poet described the annual meeting as ‘Ladies’ Day … when the women, like angels, look sweetly divine.’

While there is no official prize on offer for best dressed lady as there is at other race meetings, ticket holders were still eager to put their best foot forward.
And while the drinks were flowing yesterday, the combination of a few too many as well as the blistering sun proved tough for many.
A large police presence was spotted throughout the Berkshire town to keep people in check.
However earlier in the day, fans were treated to an exciting day of racing as seven-year-old Trawlerman won the Gold Cup with his jockey William Buick.
In a race that dates back to 1807, the horse on his 21st race sprung out of the starting stalls and never looked back.
The horse, which was ridden by legendary jockey Frankie Dettori eight times, began its career during the pandemic.
