There have been a few surprising moments during this year’s Royal Ascot from King Charles and Queen Camilla‘s stunned reactions when their horse was favorite to win the race but came in ninth to the Princess of Wales’ (formerly known as Kate Middleton) sudden absence after it was announced she would be in attendance with Prince William.

But perhaps none more shocking than a violent brawl that broke out between two racegoers. And now video of the men in suits throwing punches is going viral.

The fight occurred on the fourth day of the horse-racing festival at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.

One person approaches the two men as fists fly, but he’s unable to stop the well-dressed attendees from going at it.

There are dozens of people standing around who begin filming with their phones while other racing spectators just walk by, almost oblivious to what’s going on.

Perhaps that’s because this isn’t the first time a brawl has broken out at the racegrounds during Royal Ascot. And some commenters on social media compared it to what happened in 2019. In that melee, a handful of people were seen pushing, shoving, and kicking each other as Queen Elizabeth II watched the horses nearby.
