Moment security brawl with revellers in ugly scenes outside O2 Forum in Kentish Town as crowd descended on music venue for hip hop gig<\/h2>\n

Security guards brawled with revellers in ugly scenes outside the O2 Forum in Kentish Town last night.<\/p>\n

Video circulating on X\u00a0shows Showtec staff wearing yellow hi-vis vests jostling with a number of men outside the London music venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iranian hip-hop band Zedbazi were listed as playing at the O2 Forum at the time of the fracas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The footage starts with a security guard grabbing hold of a man’s hand who can be heard telling him ‘you have to stay here’. The man then gives him a gentle shove and walks away.<\/p>\n

It then cuts to a bearded Showtec employee wearing a grey fleece pushing a man wearing a grey gilet and navy baseball cap.<\/p>\n

Another person wearing a yellow top is huddled on the ground as a security guard is seen pulling a man clinging onto the rails.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Things then escalate as the scene abruptly clips to a T-shirt wearing reveller falling on the floor who then picks up one of the O2 Forum branded metal barricades and chucks it towards Showtec staff.<\/p>\n

Five men are huddled near the entrance of the concert venue in another shot and appear to be trying to strike a man on the ground. He then gets to his feet and grabs hold of reveller’s top before being kicked to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another man comes into view and hits a man on the head before he is grabbed by the arm and dragged to safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two uniformed Scotland Yard officers come into a view in the next scenes, with one policeman pointing what appears to be a Taser and holding up his other arm appearing to gesture others to stay away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is not known what caused the melee. MailOnline has contacted Met Police, the O2 Forum, and Showtec for comment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
