WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO

Later in the video, two other fans are seen grappling before a woman wearing a yellow hat begins throwing punches.

Even when she gets entangled, the woman is not deterred. She decides to start using her legs and begins kicking, screaming, "I hate you."

At one point, a male wearing a brown tie walks over and begins shouting at one of the men who had been involved in the scuffle as he lay on the ground.

It is unclear what exactly sparked the fight. The condition of the man with the bloody eye is unknown.
