Street fighting

Street fighting is hand-to-hand combat in public places between several people. The fight sometimes results in serious injury or even death. It is sometimes gang-related.

A usual situation might involve two people arguing in a bar. One steps outside, and 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. If any injuries happen during the fight, their severity may determine the sentence or the fine of the participants.

A bar fight, or bar brawl, is a street fight in a bar or tavern.
