Up to 10 men involved in Cookstown brawl

Up to 20 men can be seen in the footage, which was captured during a Saturday night in February, either as spectators to the fight, throwing punches or wrestling.

One man appears to throw another into the front garden of a Loy Street home before hitting him with his fist a number of times.

It is understood the men involved had been drinking at a nearby venue before the street fight broke out.

From the footage it can be seen that the brawl went on for around two minutes, only calming down when two police officers appear.

But one of the officers can be seen kicking the gate of the residence where the fight ended up in frustration at their failure to get it open.

The hedge of the home in question became a casualty of the fight.
