Dads brawl in field in front of screaming schoolkids in fight 'over sons'

Two dads brawled on a field in front of screaming schoolchildren in a fight said to be over their sons.

Police were called to Benton Park School, in Leeds, West Yorkshire after two men squared up then began trading blows.

Surrounded by a crowd of students who shouted and egged them on excitedly, the dads were caught on camera scrapping yesterday, shortly before 3pm.

A member of staff tried to intervene and others parents begged them to stop but the two dads refused to listen as they went at one another.

Then, in between the dads’ clash, a group of pupils can be seen pushing and shoving one another until a fight breaks out between two young boys too.

Other students egged them on as they wrestled each other to the ground and one landed a blow.

The fathers then start fighting again, much to the enjoyment of the teens around them.

Police were called to the fight, which didn't take place on school grounds, but made no arrests and the crowd was quickly dispersed.
