A woman who filmed the fight and wished to remain anonymous told Yahoo7 she could not believe what she witnessed.

“I’m from Perth and I’m just visiting my family and having to see that was very scary,” she said.

“A guy ran after one guy and punch him straight in this face.

“I grabbed my phone for evidence and started to film it,” the scared woman went on to admit.
