Street fighting

A type of hand-to-hand combat

Street fighting is hand-to-hand combat in public places, between several people.[1] The fight sometimes results in serious injury or even death. Some street fights are gang-related.

A usual situation might involve two people arguing in a bar. One steps outside. A fight begins.

Being involved in a street fight often results in public disorder. Any people fighting may be charged by the police. Practice varies between countries, and even between towns.[2] If any injuries are caused in the fight, the severity of the injury may determine the sentence and fine of the participants.

A bar fight, or bar brawl, is a street fight which happens in bars or taverns.[3]
