A brawl broke out between several women at a soup festival.
Fists flew as attendees scrambled to claim seats at the annual event organised by a local restaurant.
More people turned up than expected with the organiser bemoaning that they had to “slaughter four pigs” just to serve enough grub.

Footage showed at least four women brawling as a beleaguered cop tried to separate them.
The fight broke out in Leshan City in Sichuan Province, China, last Thursday (15 Jan).
Police arrived quickly on the scene to calm tensions, confirming that the brawlers only sustained minor injuries.
The soup festival is organised by a local farmhouse restaurant every year.
But numbers exceeded all expectations, leading to a seating shortage, as reported by Need To Know.
Many of the extra numbers were said to be people from out of town.
The owner said they had to slaughter four pigs to cope with the extra demand.
He also confirmed that the brawl was only a “minor dispute” and that the rest of the day continued in good spirits.
One local said: “It’s a disgrace to us Sichuan people.”
“I’m ashamed of you all,” added another.
A third joked: “You have to win a fight to get free pork.”
