MANHATTAN — A three-on-one-street brawl in Herald Square is making the rounds on YouTube.
The first part of the 2 minute, 38 second video, recorded at an unknown time on 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, shows a man backpedaling away from the three attackers as they repeatedly try to land blows. About 40 seconds in the man begins to go on the offensive and fight back.
Although someone can be heard asking, "Are you gonna to help him?" and others yell, "Stop it. Stop it," none of the dozens of onlookers step in to break up the fight.
The fight appears to break up when police sirens are heard.
The video is one of several "street fights" to hit the Web this year. In March, a fight outside Penn Station was recorded and posted to YouTube and last week another amateur videographer uploaded a brawl video that took place in the outside seating at the Murray Hill Mexican eatery Blockheads.
The video, which contains offensive language, shows a heated argument escalating to a full-fledged fight complete with thrown chairs and partitions.
At the end of the recording a man can be heard announcing, "I'm not going to pay for this meal."
