UPPER EAST SIDE — A brawl involving at least four men and a woman erupted down the block from Saloon NYC bar, according to bar staffers and a video posted on YouTube.

The fight broke out at approximately 3 a.m. on June 26 in front of a 7-Eleven at the intersection of York Avenue and East 84th street, a block down from the bar, according to bar employees and a video of the incident.

One of Saloon's managers, Michael McCann, said employees "saw a problem developing and we sent a few guys over to defuse the situation" and called police for help. McCann did not immediately say whether the group had been patrons of the bar before the incident.

The video opens after the fight has already begun and shows a group of people gathered in the street and a man ripping the rest of a tattered shirt off.

"Did I punch you in the f***ing face?" he screamed at another man.

The man responded, "No, dude, you had a man bun. You were getting punched in the face."

Then another man joined in and punched the second man several times in the face, until he was knocked to the ground, according to the video.

The NYPD did not have information about the incident as of Tuesday morning.
