The bloody fight in the Glodwick area of Oldham, Greater Manchester, was filmed by an onlooker on a phone - police have confirmed that three men have now been arrested on suspicion of assault and have been bailed

The disturbing video shows what appears to be an organised bare-knuckle fight between two men with a graphic commentary by the person filming the incident.

Swearing and racist language is used throughout the video and despite one of the men asking for the fight to stop because he is passing out, another person can be heard encouraging the man to 'kill' him.

One of the men can be seen repeatedly punching the other in the face as he bleeds heavily from his head.

In the background of the shocking video a man can be heard shouting 'kill, kill, kill - if it comes to it, kill him.' and 'eat him alive' as the two men grappled with each other.

At one point he adds: 'Stop biting him or I'm going to kick you in the face.'

When another onlooker interjects: 'Not to sleep, no man, that's it, he's out, he's out innit, stop, leave it' another man is heard shouting 'Strangle him - you know what it is? He's got too much attitude in him.'
