Huge brawl sparked outside Scots takeaway as walking stick used as weapon

This is the dramatic moment a huge late-night brawl broke out at a Scots takeaway.

A group can be seen getting into a heated altercation outside Papa Jaffer's Ephesus eatery on Great Junction Street in Leith on the outskirts of Edinburgh at around 10.40pm on Wednesday, August 4.

In the shocking footage a fight can be seen breaking out, with participants seen brandishing weapons including what appears to be a walking stick.

A female then appears to stomp someone to the ground, before takeaway staff try to remove her from the premises, reports Edinburgh Live.

An eyewitness told how a group - which included a young child - appeared to show up at the takeaway in order to ‘target’ a woman who was inside.

The Leith local said: "Three already rowdy customers at the Papa Jaffers take away, were targeted and attacked by a woman who knew who they were.

"Pulled up in a car, the woman in the grey tracksuit was screaming at the other female and attacked her with a blunt object before continuing the attack inside the shop. A child also got out of the car and and joined in with the attack.

"The disabled man’s crutch was also taken and used as a weapon. There were no police involved afterwards which suggests that Papa Jaffers did not report the incident."

Police Scotland did not have any reports of the incident.
