Cup brawl: Ugly fight breaks out at Flemington — video

FIRST ON 3AW BREAKFAST

Footage has emerged of an ugly brawl between exiting racegoers at Flemington after yesterday’s Melbourne Cup.

With Uber rendered useless due to tech glitches, tensions were running high at the ride-sharing app’s dedicated drop-off zone.

It was about 5.45pm that the brawl broke out.

Footage captured by a 3AW listener shows about five men involved in the fight, with several punches swung as security try to pull them apart.
