The excitement of an epic Super Bowl appears to have gone to some fans' heads after a huge brawl erupted in a Las Vegas casino.
Shocking footage caught four men fighting it out post-match on an unidentified casino floor. The 10-second clip showed a mix of Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers fans pushing and shoving each other as onlookers are heard shouting for them to stop.
At one moment during the heated skirmish, a man is holding another man in a headlock before being smacked hard in the face. The video was posted on X (formerly Twitter) soon after Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers with a tight scoreline of 25-22 at the Allegiant Stadium.
The post by LasVegasLocally, which was accompanied by the words 'Niners fans are already fighting in the casinos', was viewed more than 400,000 times as social media users reacted to the scuffle. One person replied: "Get it out now so it doesn’t happen on the Spirit Airlines flight home," while another added: "That was a tough loss I would be upset to lol."
