Victoria Beckham was forced to drag her 12-year-old daughter, Harper Seven Beckham, away from a swanky restaurant after a nasty fight broke out.
The mother-daughter duo had been dining at Gekko in Miami alongside David Beckham, Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo. However, they had to rush out of the eatery when a violent altercation left one man bleeding. The fight broke out at the Japanese steakhouse, which is owned by rapper Bad Bunny, on Friday evening after security reacted to a diner they thought was trying to take pictures of Lionel. The victim has denied trying to take photos of the World Cup winner.
Victoria was pictured reacting quickly to the violence as she escorted her daughter away from the restaurant. The pair headed for a security-driven SUV which was waiting outside. In a video of the fight, a bloodied man can be seen showing off his injuries outside Gekko. In the background, a woman shouted: "He's a family man, celebrating his daughter's 21st birthday."

Explaining his side of what happened, the victim said his friend was actually trying to take a photo of his own family. In the footage, he claimed: "They jumped at us, they kicked me out and punched me in the face. Just because my homeboy was trying to take a picture with his wife, not with Beckham or Messi, nothing. It was a family thing."

A source close to the Beckhams told the Daily Mail the family had a "great evening" and didn't find out about the bloody brawl until the next day. The Mirror has contacted representatives of the family and Gekko for comment.
