A mass fight broke out between guests and staff at a Turkish hotel, with both sides throwing chairs and punching each other, shocking footage showed.
The brawl reportedly took place late last month (July 31) at the Mirage World Hotel in İçmeler, Turkey, and allegedly involved British holidaymakers.
The shocking footage shows holidaymakers in a mass brawl with hotel staff after a waiter allegedly slapped a teenager’s buttocks.
According to online posts, guests claimed there had been an argument between a Briton and a member of staff involving a young relative, which led to the man getting into a fight.
This then led to a mass of ten hotel staff attacking the Englishman – one even throwing a chair at him – the violent clip shows.

The shocking footage, captured by an unknown Briton on a balcony, shows a group of holidaymakers screaming as a member of staff can be seen punching a holidaymaker – all in front of a man who was thinks he’s the hotel manager.
The song Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine by James Brown can be heard in the background as the fight escalates.
The pair are seen brawling in a circle of holidaymakers and staff as the fight continues to heat up, with more and more staff jumping into the fray.
Angry guests can be seen pushing the pair to the side along with others who appear to have joined in while another member of staff can be seen being dragged away from the midst of the chaos by a guest.
The fight seemed to calm down for a second until a member of staff charged at the man, before his colleagues intervened – wildly taking turns throwing punches.
Meanwhile, the cameraman seems to relish the chaotic scenes as he laughs at the sight, repeatedly saying “Oh yeah” as the fight ensues.
A staff member then pulls out a black chair and swings it over his head, throwing the chair into the chaotic mass of brawlers.
The cameraman can be heard saying, “Oh, the chair is out.”
A guest then retaliates, throwing a chair in the direction of the staff member, resulting in a slew of furniture being thrown around as others cry out at the terrifying situation.

The first fighting vacationer then raises his arms to encourage the staff, who seem to be moving away.
However, other guests try to defuse the situation further, pushing him the other way.
A man – who appears to be younger than the others – appears to pass out as a result of the fight as a friend tries to hold him down.
The cameraman remarks: “Someone knocked out.
A mediating staff member – who was hit by a chair earlier – appears to come to check on the man as the fight ends and everyone disperses.
The footage was shared to Facebook by Sean Reay on August 5.
“Find out how it gets worse and how managers don’t do anything. It was this week; I would ask your travel agent if I came here,” he wrote.
The post received more than 4,800 likes and 4,000 comments, with many outraged viewers quick to share their horror at the brutal fight.

Eddie Smith said: ‘The music! ‘Stay on the stage like a sex machine.’
Emma-Marie King commented, “Poor boy at the end couldn’t even stand up.”
June Bellenie added: “Anyone – servers or workers – involved in this must be fired.” They would have come out of that bag and luggage door if I was the boss.
MailOnline has contacted travel agency TUI, which counts Mirage World among its holiday destinations, and the hotel to comment on the incident.
