An ugly brawl broke out at the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, with racegoers wrestling each other to the ground in an embarrassing display at Flemington racecourse.
At around 5:45pm — after the day's races had completed — punches were thrown and shirts were torn as security tried to separate agroup of five men.
One man continued throwing wild, misdirected punches until a woman had to physically drag him away from further confrontation.
Many onlookers chose not to interfere, one filming the farce on their smartphone.
