Brawl erupts in shopping centre with mum heard shouting 'don't touch my son'

A fight between teenagers has erupted when their mothers got involved in a shopping centre brawl.

Footage of the ruckus shows more than a dozen shoppers laying into each other at St George Bank in the Bankstown mall in Sydney, Australia.

Security guards could be seen rushing to the rescue but despite trying their best to break up the row, they couldn't stop either side.

From start to finish, the fight lasted about 10 minutes.

Witness Haya Tallawi said she heard one of the parents yelling "don't touch my son".

"I was hearing bad screaming and when I looked up there was there a million people and then two women fighting together," Tallawi told 9News.

The incident started when a group of teen lads started fighting at the shopping centre's food court.

New South Wales Police said they were called to reports of a brawl at around 3.30pm Monday.

In a statement, the department added: "A 52-year-old woman sustained an injury to her lip during the incident.

"She was taken to Bankstown Hospital for treatment."

A police spokesperson said: "About 3.30pm yesterday, officers attached to Bankstown Police Area Command were called to a shopping centre on North Terrace, Bankstown, following reports of a brawl.

"Upon arrival, some of those involved left the scene."

An investigation has been launched and cops are appealing for witnesses to get in touch.

Earlier this month, a gang of thugs were caught swinging punches at each other in a McDonald's in north London.

Children at the Macca's were seen leaping out of their seats as the yobs broke out into a violent brawl by the self service machines.

Shocking footage shows the rowdy group pushing and shoving one another across the main floor of the branch in Wood Green.

Customers could be heard screaming for the ruckus to "stop" while the group hurl threats at each other.

It is not known what started the confrontation which ended with one of the group being knocked over into the machine.

A clip circulating on social media shows panicked McDonald's workers trying to stop the fight as more youngsters piled into the restaurant.

In another incident, a topless man brawled with another passenger on a packed plane flying in Bangladesh.

In shocking footage of the incident, a shirtless thug appears to be trying to yank the other passenger out of his front-row seat on the Boeing 777 plane.

The altercation was said to be over a seat allocation.

Music can be heard playing in the background - suggesting the jet was still grounded on the runway at the time of the ugly scenes.

The argument intensifies and the seated passenger appears to slap the topless man’s face several times.

In response, the standing man throws three punches before one man grabs his wrist and pulls him away.

A second momentarily grabs the topless man’s neck and then tries to separate the two men with two others.

According to local reports, it took place on a flight operated by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the national flag carrier of Bangladesh.
