This is the shocking moment a fight broke out at Aintree racecourse as punters throw punches and kick each other as security guards appear to just watch on.

The mass brawl took place on Saturday during a ‘private event’ at the home of the Grand National. 

Footage posted on X viewed more than two million times show security guards in G4S branded high-vis jackets with one speaking into a walkie-talkie watching as a group of men start swinging punches at each other. 

A man in a grey top appears to be trying to break up the scuffle only to be smacked in the face as more punches are swung at him.

He grabs hold of the attacker only for a second man to come in and punch him clean in the face where he then appears to lose his footing.

A third man holds a pint glass with his drink sloshing around as he tries to intervene in the melee which spills out through a door into another carpeted area with some stairs. 

The camera pans back round where a man in dark clothing viciously kicks a man in the stomach as he tries to get to his feet. 

In the background a man wearing a light-coloured jacket is kneeling on top of someone on the floor swinging punches. He then gets to his feet and tries to kick him. 

The camera then moves back to the other area where two men are punching another man as he huddles over in protection. 

The ugly brawl was described as ‘shameful’ by one social media user. 

Another said: ‘With this and the state of images of a Friday evening in the average English town centre I’m surprised we don’t have a plague of locusts coming our way…’

A third questioned why the security guards didn’t appear to get involved.

‘Cracking job done by the security guys in the yellow jackets – hope they didn’t get paid,’ they wrote. 

A fourth suggested he had witnessed the fight and said: ‘I witnessed this yesterday & it reaffirmed my decision to go Saturday racing never again.’    

Merseyside Police told MailOnline the incident was not reported to the force and it had been dealt with by the security team. 

The Jockey Club said those involved in the brawl had been immediately removed. 

‘We’re passionate about providing safe and enjoyable experiences for all on our racecourses and operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of anti-social behaviour,’ they said.

‘There was an isolated instance of such behaviour yesterday which was dealt with by our security teams. This kind of behaviour will never be tolerated and those involved were immediately ejected from the site.’

MailOnline has contacted G4S for comment.
