CCTV footage shows a fight breaking out between two men outside the club before a number of others gather around.

One man was wounded with a knife and another man was left unconscious after he tried to break up the fight.

This is the third arrest following the brutal brawl.

A 38-year-old Tarneit man, who is a patched member of the Comancheros, was arrested last month and charged with a string of offences including common assault and intentionally causing injury.

The charges relate to the brawl outside the Love Machine and a previous incident in Windsor where a security guard was allegedly assaulted.

A 43-year-old Hillside man, who was also linked to the Comancheros, was also charged after the nightclub brawl.

In October last year, a 31-year-old man from Armstrong Creek was arrested after a series of alleged bloody incidents which were linked to the Coffin Cheaters bikie gang.

The investigation into the brawl remains ongoing.
