The Mirror reveals shocking pictures show how a vicious brawl erupted outside a Manchester night club in the early hours.
Witnesses described how trouble flared between around a dozen men and bouncers outside the Birdcage in the city centre at around 3am on Friday.
Revellers were seen grappling with door men on the pavement outside the Withy Grove nightclub, spilling onto the road.
People were seen falling over after punches were thrown.
Others tried to separate those fighting.
One eye-witness told the Manchester Evening News : “The whole thing was disgraceful and pretty frightening.
“Punches were thrown and people were being kicked. The red mist seemed to come over some of them. I saw one guy with blood coming from his ear and another with a cut lip.
“The police turned up and one lad was put into the back of the car, but they let him out again later.
“It was quite a frightening incident. It unnerved me.”
Greater Manchester Police is investigating the incident, a spokesman said.
Officers are trawling CCTV footage. No arrests have been made.
Bosses at The Birdcage have not responded to the M.E.N’s request for comment.
