Awful to watch': Horrific family brawl at zoo even stuns the animals
Shocking footage of a violent fight between families touring a Chinese zoo has been shared online.
The trivial argument between two visitors on Sunday (local time) led to an all-out brawl involving at least six people, including a woman holding a young boy, Beijing Wildlife Park said in a statement.
Video of the incident, which occurred in the gorilla area, has gone viral after being posted to social media site Weibo.
The woman holding the toddler can be seen repeatedly kicking another woman as she tries to fight off a third woman on the ground.
Two men wrestle in the background as a circle of others try to pull them off each other.
At one point, the woman with the child grabs a handful of another woman's hair, prompting a man to charge over and kick her to the ground.
Bystanders, including young kids, watch the brawl in horror.
Beijing Wildlife Park said security guards were able to break up the brawl.
