Shocking moment two groups of thugs armed with sticks fight in the street over a girl as they are slammed for not staying home during lockdown

This is the moment two groups of thugs - armed with sticks - fight over a girl during coronavirus lockdown.

The yobs can be seen squaring up to each other as a mass of stunned onlookers watch on.

Kicks and punches are thrown as the men come face to face while some bystanders try to intervene.

Some of the fighting men then try to get back into a blue car parked up in the middle of the street.

Others then try to smash the windscreen during the broad daylight brawl.

But locals in the street in Belfast, Northern Ireland blasted them for breaching COVID-19 social distancing.

Jordan Graham posted the shocking video on Facebook.

He said: 'Can't believe what I am seeing.

'What happened to the message STAY HOME.'

The video has been shared over 9,000 times and has over 3,500 comments.

He added: 'Threats were made, these two lads started kicking off over a girl.

'And then people started getting involved.'

Michael Atherton fumed: 'Two metres apart please people otherwise it's not going away.'

Jasmine Reeve said: 'Everyone in this video should get questioned by the police.

'Social distancing went out the window.'

Sheila Rostron added: 'There's better ways to use that pent up energy, stay home!'

Iain Ballantyne said: 'So much for stay at home and stay safe, nuggets.'

Ealesa Evers quipped: 'What in the Jeremy Kyle is going on here?

'The peasants are revolting!'
