Christine Tibbitts, a Surfers local who captured the brawl on video, said she was “disgusted” by incident.

“There was a family who were trying to pull their children out of the way – it is not a good look for our city,” she said.

“This was two grown men pulling each other’s hair and punching each other in broad daylight, it is disgusting.

“They moved from one side of the road, to the middle of the street and then went at it again in front of the BWS.

“It is frightening to locals and tourists and really a shame for the city.

“We see this happen quite regularly now.”

Ms Tibbitts said she hopes to see an increased police presence on the street.

Police were not notified of the incident.
