Flying Chair Incident at Melbourne Strip Club Leaves Friend Knocked Out Cold
A wild altercation at a Melbourne strip club has captured international attention after video footage showed one man knocking out his own friend with a flying chair. The incident, which occurred at Bar 20 in Melbourne, Australia, unfolded after two men were ejected from the establishment for aggressive behavior toward staff members.
Escalation from Verbal Confrontation to Physical Chaos
The trouble began when the two men entered Bar 20 shortly before 9:30 p.m. and immediately displayed hostility toward the staff. According to co-owner Michael Trimble, one of the men made an inappropriate comment to a bartender while ordering drinks, causing her to hesitate about serving them. The situation quickly deteriorated when the customer screamed, "Just open the f—ing beer," prompting security to intervene.
What followed was an unusually prolonged ejection process that lasted approximately eight minutes. Most people are out the door 30 seconds after being asked to leave, Trimble recalled in an interview with news.com.au. But this whole thing just went on for ages. They just refused to leave.
The Viral Moment That Captured Global Attention
Once outside the establishment, the confrontation continued as one of the men argued with security personnel. In a shocking turn of events, a chair was snatched from a neighboring restaurant and hurled toward the bouncers. However, the projectile missed its intended targets and instead struck the man's friend directly, knocking him unconscious on the pavement.
Video of the incident has since gone viral on social media platforms, with viewers marveling at the bizarre chain of events. The footage shows the victim hitting the ground with dramatic force before eventually recovering and walking away from the scene. His friend was seen holding his head in his hands, apparently in regret over the unintended consequences of his actions.
Aftermath and Industry Perspective
Despite the violent nature of the incident, no police reports were filed following the altercation. The identities of both men remain unknown, according to reports from 7News. Trimble, who has worked in the hospitality industry for twelve years, expressed astonishment at the viral potential of the event. I've seen plenty of instances of people making clowns of themselves in my 12 years in this industry, he noted. But nothing with the potential to go viral like that.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly situations can escalate in nightlife environments and the unpredictable consequences that can result from aggressive behavior. While the men eventually left the premises, their refusal to depart peacefully led to physical harm that was captured and shared with audiences around the world.
