A video has captured the moment council contractors got caught up in a fight in Coventry City Centre.

The clip in question shows workmen fighting with a 30-year-old man at the work site at the Upper Precinct on Monday (29 January).

A man, who police say is of no fixed address, is shown exchanging shouted insults with a worker - he then angrily runs into the site to confront the workman.

The pair square off, with the worker putting down his shovel and removing his hard hat and jacket, before a scuffle breaks out.

Colleagues rush to break the fight up, and the man is restrained.

However, he gets up and continues to throw insults at the workmen.

A police officer then arrives, and attempts to remove the individual, but another scuffle appears to break out between the same man and the person filming the incident.

The site is currently going through some regeneration work, with the famous green escalator entrance leading to the West Orchards shopping centre being removed.
