A quiet night of bingo descended into a full house of fury where punters traded blows and scrambled across tables as a mass brawl broke out.
Shocking footage captured in the newly opened Club 3000 in Leeds shows women yanking each other’s hair and a man seemingly attempting to punch a female in the face.
The session began in the West Yorkshire bingo house on Sunday evening with the promise of prizes and a night of fun ahead.
But tempers began boiling over when one man found himself ejected from the venue, according to one witness.
As he was exiting the hall, which is furnished with purple decor and huge electronic screens, a portion of the crowd reportedly began jeering and clapping.
This is said to have prompted an irate response from the man’s female companion, who attempted to lash out at another woman in the hall.
The astonishing video shows a group of women grappling each other in the middle of a row of seats, with onlookers in complete disbelief as the chaos breaks out.
A man wearing a blue top then appears to throw a right jab towards a woman, with one heard exclaiming: ‘What the f***’.

Staff and bingo-goers were spotted seemingly running across tables in a bid to separate the group before police descended on the scene.
It is unclear what caused the man to be ejected from the hall. Club 3000 in Leeds declined to comment when contacted.
One witness described the scene as ‘WWE in a bingo hall’, adding: ‘It was absolute chaos. The whole place was in total uproar.
‘Women were swinging handbags and pulling each others hair. Men were running across the tables to break things up but then getting caught in the middle. I’ve never seen anything like it.’
West Yorkshire Police said it was investigating a potential public order crime.
A spokesperson said: ‘We were called at 9.11pm to a business premises on Balm Road, Hunslet, to reports of an ongoing fight.
‘A public order offence is being investigated. There were no reported injuries and enquiries are ongoing.’
