A frenzied brawl between two men broke out in the middle of a road in Merseyside, with drivers filmed blasting their horns at the fighting yobs.

In the clip, recorded in Crosby on Friday (April 1) the men hurl punches as they go toe-to-toe despite the obvious danger from traffic on the A565.

The fight starts behind stationary traffic in the queue for the traffic lights but quickly spills into the opposite lanes of the main road.

One of the men, wearing a dark tracksuit, appears to aged in his 20s while the older man is estimated to be in his late 30s or 40s, reports Liverpool ECHO which saw the raw footage.

The man in the dark tracksuit backpedals while still throwing in punches, while the older man ducks a few punches and pummels back with his own.

As the clip comes to an end, the older man in the green shirt lands a quick succession of heavy blows on his opponent.

The footage stops just as another driver gets out of a car, possibly to intervene, although it's not clear how the fight was settled.

It's believed the fighters were motorists who got into a dispute that turned physical at the junction of Crosby Road North and South Road.

The incident was reported to Merseyside Police.

The footage was shared widely in WhatsApp groups on Friday evening and a taxi driver sent a copy of the footage to the ECHO.

Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 111 555.

This comes after a savage brawl broke out in one of Birmingham's nightlife hotspots.

Footage showed a young man lying on the ground while people kicked him and he desperately tried to protect himself with his arms.

The perpetrators fled the scene before the police arrived.
