Bystanders can be seen in the video appearing to scramble out the way as the incident continued to spread down the busy strip.

At least 10 men have been involved in a brawl in Richmond on Saturday night.

The brawl broke out on Swan St about 10.15pm.

The incident continued to unfold further down the street where footpath advertising signs for local businesses were also tossed as projectiles.

Victorian police have called on any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A police spokesperson confirmed the group fled on foot when officers arrived on the scene about 10.15pm.

“A 27-year-old Officer man was arrested nearby,” she said.

Witness Shabz Pandey has told The Herald Sun at least 20 people were involved in the brawl.

He said the altercation began at a pub that has traditionally attracted Melbourne Victory fans.

Earlier in the night there were also fireworks on the field as both teams scrambled in stoppage time to find a match-winning goal.
