Men dressed as 'Where's Wally?' brawl in busy city centre bar

Shocking footage has emerged of a group of men dressed up in 'Where's Wally?' fancy dress brawl in a busy Scots bar.

The group of revellers on were spotted fighting at Festival Village on the Waverley Mall Rooftop in Edinburgh on Saturday June 4.

One member dressed like 'Where's Wally?' seemed to have a disagreement with a group on a separate table, Edinburgh Live reports.

They had been drinking close to each other but then an altercation involving at least a dozen people breaks out as they stand up.

Next, one lad in a grey hoodie saunters over swinging a punch at one of the Wallies, who in retaliation launches a pint at him.

The live performer continues to play Take Me Home, Country Roads calmly while a number of girls in the friend group scream in shock.

The fight continues as the guys fall over chairs while taking swings at each other, collapsing over the plastic furniture.

No security staff appear insight while the brawl is ongoing.

One onlooker exclaimed that a live musician was playing just metres away and did not miss a single beat despite the ongoing commotion.

Area manager Danny McCormick said: "During a busy bank holiday weekend, there was an isolated incident involving three males at the rear of the premises.

"Security staff intervened and all were ejected through separate exits.

"No injuries were sustained to the males therefore no police involvement was requested. All involved left the area without further incident."

Mr McCormick told Edinburgh Live the rest of a busy bank holiday weekend passed off peacefully - with revellers enjoying the sunshine in good spirits.

He added: "The rest of the bank holiday weekend went without any issues.

"This is a very rare occurrence at Festival Village, which is normally a very upbeat and happy atmosphere for customers and staff.

"We pride ourselves on being a safe and inclusive venue for all and incidents like this are absolutely not tolerated."
