This is the shocking moment a thug threw a fire extinguisher at a man during a mass brawl in a JD sports shop in Brighton. 

Dramatic footage posted on social media shows dozens of people appearing to have a scrap inside the shop in the city’s Brighton Square at around 2pm today. 

One person can be seen standing at the store’s entrance with a fire extinguisher slung over his shoulder before running into the shop and using it to whack another man. 

He then runs out the store and picks up a second fire extinguisher before being followed out by a man, seemingly a security guard, who forces the object away from him.
