Insane fight breaks out in Peckham Skylight bar as guests throw pots and wrestle in viral video
The @nebbesboo user published the video of the rooftop commotion on TikTok, but they have since removed it from their profile. However, viewers instantly screen-captured the video, and it has since been shared on Twitter.
A group of people can be seen arguing at the back of the venue while a woman calls for security in the video “Skylight in Peckham – Mad stuff,” which is captioned. The altercation moves to the main dining room, where two guys in black suits battle one another on the floor while onlookers try to separate the two fighters.
The victim tries to escape by running around the tables, but two more join the fight. A second man enters the scene from behind the camera while holding a medium-sized plant before tossing it in the direction of a man’s head. In the background, glass breaking and screeches can be heard. You must be aware that the video contains violent material if you chose to watch it because it has received almost 1000K views on Twitter alone.
Social media reactions
The popular venue in Southeast London launched in 2017, and this is the first time a fight there has gone viral online. Locals aren’t happy.
A perplexed user commented, “That argument at Skylight Peckham is so pitiful because you’re telling us you really couldn’t have carried it downstairs to the area where the aunts and uncles play their music?” Another compared the debate to the Fox drama Empire and called it an “utter catastrophe.”
