At least one man was left pouring with blood after a brawl broke out in a pub last night (Saturday).
Video footage taken at the Tudor Arms in Watford shows men throwing punches at each other both inside and outside the pub - and police believe a number of people may have been injured.

It's not yet known what sparked the fight but footage showed several people involved.
The chaos starts inside the Arms with plenty of pushing, shoving, and shouting. One woman can be heard shrieking and numerous glasses can be heard smashing on the floor.
Then a man in a blue t-shirt comes through the crowd, with a bloody nose and blood all over his arm, hand, and t-shirt.
Outside, the violence continues with further punches being thrown before a scuffle breaks out in the road. Several people continue the fight on the floor while others desperately try to break it up.

Hertfordshire Constabulary has launched an investigation into the incident.
Police say they were called at 9.50pm to the pub, which was busy with Liverpool facing Tottenham in the European cup final.
A spokeswoman for the force said: “An investigation has been launched following a disturbance in Bushey Mill Lane, Watford, last night (Saturday).
