The larger man held him in position for a few moments before hitting him another three times.

Before leaving, the man behind the punches appeared to deliver a slap across the face.

The beaten man eventually stood up and was captured stumbling down the road, narrowly avoiding toppling over from his injuries.

He was then seen approaching the pub where the man from earlier had retreated to, and within seconds was kicked to the ground.
