A mass brawl at an amateur football match spilled into A&E where a man allegedly attacked hospital staff treating casualties from the fight.
Chaotic footage shows players and others apparently trading blows after a Sunday league game descended into violence.
Those injured in the scrap then flooded into the nearby hospital’s emergency department, forcing every available member of staff on duty to deal with the sudden influx.

But the chaos allegedly followed them inside.
One person is accused of bursting into the emergency unit, shouting abuse and assaulting medics before police were called to intervene.
The violence erupted on a sports pitch beside the community hospital in Bulnes, Chile, on Sunday (6 September), as reported by Need To Know.
Ñuble Health Service and bosses at the Bulnes Community Family Health Hospital have since condemned the shocking scenes.
In a joint statement, they voiced their “absolute rejection of any form of violence against health workers” following the alleged attack in the emergency department.
Officials said medical care continued throughout the chaos “thanks to the commitment and professionalism of the teams”.
Authorities now plan to file a criminal complaint against the person accused of attacking hospital staff.
Officials have not named the clubs involved or revealed how many people were injured in the football brawl.
It is also unclear whether anyone involved in the initial fight was arrested.
Anyone with footage or information about the incident has been urged to contact police.
