DISTURBING footage of a brawl involving four people and what appears to be an umbrella in the middle of a busy road has emerged, the latest in a spate of road rage violence in Melbourne.
The YouTube video shows two cars stopped in the middle of Dynon Road — in Melbourne’s inner west — with the Docklands’ Melbourne Star ferris wheel in the background.
Three people are seen arguing when one man pulls out a long, narrow black object, possibly an umbrella, and starts bashing the other man.
A fourth person emerges and eventually breaks up the fracas.
It is not known if police were called to the fight which 3AW said likely occurred on Friday afternoon.

It comes as a crazed driver was being hunted by police following a road rage incident in Gladstone Park on Saturday night.
Police have been told a fight broke-out between two drivers after a car crash on Windermere Crescent just before 9.30pm.
One of the drivers was assaulted at the scene while the other fled before police arrived.
The injured man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police were continuing to investigate last night.
Last Tuesday, a Craigieburn man, 27, was charged over a terrifying road rage incident on the Tullamarine Freeway on May 26.
Schoolteachers Leigh Mahady, 62, and Julie Dougherty, 60, who were driving to Melbourne airport, said they had feared for their lives during last Saturday’s incident.
The truck driver is accused of tailgating the vehicle of the pair, tooting his horn, and then sideswiping them.
The women’s car was pushed towards the concrete road barrier and it door, side mirror and tyres were damaged.
The man has been charged with offences including conduct endangering life and assault with a weapon.
And on May 30, the Herald Sun revealed dramatic footage of another violent rampage.
In that incident, a driver believed to have been on drugs climbs out of a utility and jumps on to the roof of a family car, causing the roof to cave in on an 11-year-old girl sitting in the front passenger seat.
The horrifying vision shows the man raising his knees to his chest before stomping on the car’s roof and climbing down the bonnet.
He then picks up a wooden bollard and yanks open the car’s passenger door, poised to hit the girl.
The girl’s mother was behind the wheel, and the girl’s four-year-old sister was also in the car.
The distraught mother told the Herald Sun: “I thought we were done for. I thought he was going to kill us.”
