Beers and champagne in the sun got a bit much for some revellers at Royal Ascot as high spirits descended into bloody brawl between two young men.
A surprising video has surfaced on the internet showing two men, dressed in formal attire, aggressively throwing punches at each other at an upscale event in Berkshire.
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.
Meanwhile, at the same event – considered the highlight of the racing season – fashionable attendees displayed their elegant outfits as they enjoyed the scorching 28°C weather.
A sea of flamboyant hats and gowns dominated the landscape at the races today as revellers prepared for nail-biting action.
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.’

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.
