Footage has appeared online of a mass brawl that broke out at Newmarket races this weekend. 

The video shared on Twitter showed the moment the fight broke out at the racecourse in Suffolk on Saturday, with one man captured picking up what appeared to be a table to use as a weapon. 

One man is showed with blood on his shirt, while in the background, another lands a punch on one of the many security guards trying to break up the fight.

A stunned spectator filmed as security guards rushed to the scene to break the fight up. 

'First trip back to Newmarket in   years, and these idiots ruined a family day out,' they wrote.

'The poor security staff, and racegoers that had to witness it! Nasty thugs that shouldn't be allowed on a racecourse again!

'It was even worse out the front. Felt so bad for the security, so many people involved and totally outnumbered. People picking up furniture and using as weapons; glasses thrown - really nasty!'

No arrests were made and a Newmarket racecourse spokesperson said: 'There was an isolated disturbance after racing had concluded, which was quickly dealt with by security.

'The matter was referred to Suffolk Police as such behaviour is unacceptable.

'Otherwise, nearly 7,000 spectators enjoyed a fantastic day at Newmarket without incident.'

MailOnline has contacted Suffolk Police.  

This is the second fight in as many months to hit an English racecourse.

One man, 26, was arrested on suspicion of affray, causing actual bodily harm and possession of cocaine during a scrap at Goodwood in August.
