Tradie uses helmet as weapon during wild worksite brawl

Footage has emerged online of a rolling brawl at an Australian worksite, with one tradie using safety equipment to land a few crushing blows.

Wild footage has emerged of a brawl between tradies on an Australian building site, with some resorting to using their hard hats as weapons.

The video posted to the Only in Guildford Facebook page shows workers in hi-vis gear exchanging blows in a pack of about 10 people rolling through an unfinished development.

One man charges into the brawl and swings his helmet at two different people, connecting with their heads and emitting a clear thud sound.

One man armed himself with his work helmet.

Another grabbed a shovel for protection.

That same man appears to pull an object from his pants after being separated from the group.

Another armed himself with a shovel as men in orange shirts hold back another man wearing a fluoro yellow top.

The video went viral gaining 13,000 views and a host of comments making light of the incident.

One likened the fight to an alleged brawl between security and racegoers in Canberra last month: “Are they the summernats security guards”.

“What the hell was this all about? The heat got to them or was it a liquid lunch?,” one man commented.

About 10 people were involved.

One worker throws punches at the man who was wielding the helmet.

“Bloke at the bottom brought a shovel to a hard hat fight,” another said.

Other comments included, “Who stole the pie out the warmer?” and “The eternal battle Yellow v Orange”.

It is unclear where and when the footage was taken, or if it took place in the western Sydney suburb of Guildford.

NSW Police said it had not received any reports about the brawl.
