Wild moment footy fan in a Sydney Swans scarf clashes with pro-Palestine protesters near a pub in Melbourne

Disturbing footage has captured the moment a Sydney Swans supporter clashed with a group of pro-Palestine protesters after a rally. 

The violent scuffle broke out between the man and the group near a pub in Melbourne on Sunday.

A Free Palestine Rally was held around midday, where the protesters marched from the State Library to the Victorian Parliament House. 

Dramatic footage shared to TikTok by a bystander showed the AFL fan, who was wearing a Sydney Swans scarf around his neck, squaring off against a bearded protester.

The two men came face to face before the bearded man who was wearing a black t-shirt asked the Swans supporter 'what are you going to do?'

The Swans supporter who was wearing a white t-shirt and blue denim shorts was heard telling the man to 'f**k off'. 

Moments later a group of protesters who were standing nearby rushed at the man, who had been pushed in the chest by another just seconds earlier. 

The Swans supporter backed away as the group of protesters appeared to attempt to continue the altercation. 

A man wearing a black shirt and a dark coloured jeans who appeared to be a staffer at the nearby pub intervened and tried to restrain one of the protesters who had a Palestine flag draped around him. 

The group of men continued to lunge towards the Swans supporter as he was being held back by fellow AFL fans, including women.

Some protesters could be heard saying 'stop' repeatedly as bystanders and staffers attempted to diffuse the situation while tensions boiled over. 

The footage ended with the Swans fan rushing into the venue to escape as staffers stopped the pro-Palestine demonstrators from following him.

The footage has since gone viral on Twitter and TikTok, leaving viewers divided.

'Please show us the full scenario,' one wrote.

The female pro-Palestine supporter who filmed the incident and originally shared it online has since taken down the footage or made it private.

The altercation unfolded ahead of the Swans' clash against Hawthorn at the MCG. 

A Victoria Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that officers weren't called to the incident nor has it been reported.
