Drunk bozo falls into ring of fire after picking fight with ladies
He fell into a burning ring of fire — and not in the cool Johnny Cash way.
A drunken UK man got lit in more ways than one after falling into a ring of fire after starting a brawl with several women, as seen in a video of the firefight igniting the interwebs.
“The fight escalated very quickly,” videographer Martin Johnson, 53, who works as a security guard, told the Daily Mail of the inflammatory incident, which occurred Saturday during a street performance in Leicester, Caters reported.
The 3-minute clip begins innocently enough with a crowd of spectators cheering as the entertainer performs tricks off-screen. All of a sudden, the camera cuts to the intoxicated lout arguing with several women.
According to Johnson, “one of the ladies took offense” after the man got too close to her young daughter, and wouldn’t stay away despite numerous warnings.
The altercation escalates after one of the ladies pushes the wino, who shoves her back and hurls some of his drink in her face.
The blonde gal then throws the drunkard to the ground, whereupon bystanders step in between the two, who continue to yell at each other. Shortly thereafter, the street performer can be heard announcing his next stunt.
“Are you ready for this,” he shouts.
Seemingly taking it as a cue, the boozehound staggers into the middle of the stunt and angrily kicks down the artist’s flaming hoop — which then falls perfectly around him as onlookers gasp in shock. Despite being encircled in fire, the man manages to stand up without setting his clothes ablaze.
However, the hooch-filled hooligan gets his comeuppance after the performer pushes him to the ground and drags him away as the crowd cheers.
Local authorities arrived at the scene later to attend to a man who’d claimed he’d been assaulted during the melee, the Daily Mail reported.
This isn’t the first public brawl that’s made headlines of late. A woman was arrested in September after hurling drinks and haymakers in a wild restaurant rumble during the Feast of San Gennaro in New York City’s Little Italy.
Meanwhile, this past May, a woman was knocked unconscious during a booze-fueled brawl that erupted at an Ohio water park after someone cut the line for a ride.
