Chaotic footage has emerged of a bar brawl involving a group of Brits in Thailand, with reports that three of them are now on the run after one allegedly stabbed a French tourist during the fight.
A number of other holidaymakers and a security guard are seen trying to break up the scrap, which took place at a busy bar on the paradise island of Phuket on May 11.
At one point in the video, a female reveler who is trying to intervene screams at one of the men and runs across the bar – almost spilling out of her top while doing so.
Police say they are now hunting the three men, identified as Emilio Armani Bozzo, 34, Rory Billy Colhoun, 33, and Rayon Hamilton Craig, 28, all of whom are said to be from Leeds.
The victim has been named as 23-year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter Jugurtha Nubel Khaleche.
According to police, the altercation began inside a restaurant, with video showing one of the British men, identified as being Hamilton Craig, wrestling on the ground with Khaleche.
The man in the white shirt, identified as Colhoun, is then seen punching and kicking the French tourist.
The other Brit, said to be Bozzo, can be seen throwing a chair to the side during the fight, before standing and watching as the bouncer intervened.

The fight then moved to the street in front of the beach club, according to police, where Khaleche was stabbed by one of the men.
He suffered three knife wounds to his left side and back, and was found bleeding on the floor by police who arrived at the scene at 4.20am.
By the time cops were at the scene the group of British tourists had already left, reportedly fleeing the scene in a grey Mazda with no visible licence plates.
Khaleche was rushed to Thalang Hospital, where he is now said to be in a stable condition recovering from his injuries.
Cherng Talay Police said they had reviewed CCTV footage, in which the Brits were clearly identifiable, as well as the video clip of the brawl captured by the bystander.
One of the suspects dropped a black iPhone at the scene as they fled, according to police, who said the SIM card was registered under Bozzo’s name.
Police are now working to compile enough evidence to obtain arrest warrants for all three suspects, Phuket News reports.
According to police information, all three men are from Leeds. Their current whereabouts is not known.

Police Lt Colonel Khajornkiat Khamwichairat said that the victim was a well-known Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, with social media showing that he had been in Thailand for some time attending training camps.
Nomad Beach Club told local media that it had closed at midnight and that the fight had initially broken out at another venue.
This was confirmed by Khamwichairat, who said the fight began elsewhere and ended with Khaleche being stabbed ‘in front of Nomad Beach Club’.
Without naming where the brawl took place, Khamwichairat said the venue involved had been ‘warned’ following the altercation.
