In another scrap, allegedly on the same Norlane street, a man in socks can be seen being chased by another on a bike.

He attempts to enter a yard before repeatedly saying “f*** off dog” and “f*** off rat” before a violent confrontation.

A metal object appears to be used as a weapon in the alleged attack, with one of the men narrowly avoiding being struck in the head.

One comment on the incident, viewed more than 115,000 times, described it as ‘Norlane fight club’.

It’s understood both Norlane fights were not reported to the police.
