A chaotic fight broke out outside a Melbourne strip club, where one man was unexpectedly struck unconscious by a chair thrown by his companion. Security footage and bystander videos captured the intense altercation on King Street near Bar 20 in the city center.
The Altercation Begins
The incident occurred late Friday night, January 30, just before 9 a.m., when two individuals were removed from the venue by bouncers. As tensions escalated outside, physical confrontations ensued, with security personnel pushing one of the men to the ground. The dispute soon spread onto the busy street, drawing attention from passersby.
Unexpected Mishap with a Flying Chair
In the heat of the moment, one of the ejected men seized a nearby chair and hurled it toward the club’s entrance, apparently aiming at security. However, the projectile veered off course and struck the back of his friend’s head instead. The victim collapsed immediately, while the thrower appeared stunned, holding his head in disbelief.
Separate video evidence shows another participant attempting to grab a wooden chair from an adjacent restaurant. A restaurant staff member intervened, later stating, “He just suddenly asked, can I borrow a chair? I tried to stop him, saying it’s our best chair, you can’t take it.” Despite the effort, the man proceeded to launch the chair toward the ongoing scuffle.
Aftermath and Security Response
As the injured man fell, a security guard was observed laughing and gesturing toward the scene. Details on the extent of injuries remain unavailable, though emergency services were likely alerted given the severity of the impact. Authorities have not released further statements on potential charges or investigations.
