Watch: Wild brawl explodes at Griffith University’s Gold Coast campus student bar

Crazy footage of an all-in brawl involving more than 20 people at a South East Queensland university student bar has emerged. WATCH THE VIDEO

Wild vision has emerged of an all-in brawl at a university student bar on the night of the State of Origin decider.

The footage shows the fight at a student bar at the Griffith University’s Gold Coast campus during the State of Origin decider on Wednesday, July 9.

The vision shows a group of young men - some wearing Queensland Maroons supporters jerseys - throwing punches and shoving each other, with several people seen hitting the floor.

A young man was also left with a bloodied face after the brawl.

Security guards attempting to step in to try and break up the altercation, while several people are seen standing off to the side filming the brawl unfold. Some of the students are seen trying to calm down their friends.

People can be heard yelling ‘oh s**t,’ as the fight unfolds, with one person yelling “Queenslander”, in reference to the great Billy Moore’s famous call.

In a statement, a Griffith spokesman said the university strongly condemned violence and were investigating the incident.

“Griffith University ... maintains a zero-tolerance policy

towards violence,” the statement said. “We are investigating the incident.

“We thank the Queensland Police Service for their prompt response.”

A statement from Queensland Police on Friday said an investigation was under way.

“Initial information indicates a group of males were involved in a physical altercation at the Parklands Drive venue around 10pm,” it read.

“Police attended; however, the group had dispersed prior to their arrival and no complaints were made at the time.”

A formal complaint has since been received from a 22-year-old man who suffered facial injuries in the incident.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has relevant information or vision is urged to contact police.

Investigations are continuing.
