Mass brawl in Sheffield videoed as thugs 'attack' man and 'steal £50,000 worth of jewellery'

A video posted on Instagram showed a fight involving a large number of people breaking out outside Sundae Gelato on Glossop Road earlier this week. 

The gang of robbers were described as being "like a pack of hyenas on a lion" as they took a man down and reportedly stole his jewellery worth over £50,000.

South Yorkshire Police say they attended the scene in the early hours of Sunday, February 25 and had to separate the group. Enquiries remain ongoing, and reports of a robbery in connection with the incident are being investigated.

The footage, which was posted by the Instagram account @imjustshef on February 27, begins with the person filming crossing the road to capture the mayhem breaking out outside the dessert restaurant. A number of people can then be seen kicking the victim as he was on the group and were heard shouting before allegedly stealing thousands of pounds worth of jewellery.

A caption on the video reads: "A man makes it out financially but still can’t have nice watches and chains. Instead, people look for an opportunity to take him down and steal his jewellery like a pack of hyenas on a lion… £50,000+ in jewels got snatched."
