A night of bingo turned into chaos after women began throwing punches, sparking a mass brawl between punters.
Shocking footage showed the moment a fight broke out at Club 3000 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, as women grabbed each other by the hair and a man appeared to punch a woman in the face.
A witness said tempers boiled over when a man was kicked out of the venue.
As he left, the crowd reportedly clapped – prompting his female companion to lash out at another woman.
Punches were then thrown, as other players tried to intervene, but not before a man in a blue top threw a right jab at a woman, before one onlooker screamed: ‘What the f***’.

A group of women can be seen grappling with one another, as other bingo-goers desperately attempt to separate them.
One witness said: ‘It was absolute chaos. It was like WWE in a bingo hall. The whole place was in total uproar.
‘Women were swinging handbags and pulling each other’s hair. Men were running across the tables to break things up, but then getting caught in the middle. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years of coming here.’
The session, on Sunday night, was temporarily paused while staff restored order.
Bingo fans later returned to complete their games.
West Yorkshire Police said it was investigating a potential public order crime.
A spokesperson said: ‘We were called at 9.11pm to a business premises on Balm Road, Hunslet, to reports of an ongoing fight.
‘A public order offence is being investigated. There were no reported injuries and enquiries are ongoing.’
Bingo Halls seem to be a place of absurdity as of recent years. In 2023, a cannabis farm worth £3 million was found operating inside an old one.
More than 3,000 illegal plants were discovered stuffed inside the disused six-storey building.
It was only found when the National Grid noticed an unusual amount of energy being used inside the site in Barry, South Wales.
Police estimate each plant had a street value of around £1,000.
