The video shows two separate fights, one with a man in a white shirt who appears passed out and bloodied, and another man in a blue shirt who appears to choke him.

Both men eventually flee, while the other two remain motionless on the ground.
Twitter fans expressed concern over the potential injuries of the men who were passed out on the ground and called for the arrest and charge of the assailants.
