A huge fight has broken out at The Range in Hull which left one man covered in blood and another in the back of a police car.

Shocking pictures taken on Sunday afternoon show a man wearing a face mask squaring up to another shopper before he "headbutted" him and "smashed something" over his head.

Police and paramedics rushed to the scene of the Clough Road brawl, which took place in the entrance to the popular superstore on Sunday afternoon.

It is understood that a number of people, including The Range employees and members of the public, helped to hold the attacker down to the floor before he wrestled himself free and continued his assault.

Pictures reveal the pair squaring up to each other in front of a crowd of people before a second man leaped in to try and get the masked man under control.

However, it was not long until police carted him off into the back of a waiting car.

The incident unfolded in the first weekend of a full UK lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic, meaning people are advised to leave the house and shop only when it is essential.

Food stores, and those selling other essentials, are the only ones permitted to remain open.

Following the incident, one witness described how the shop was "closed" and that drivers were being turned away from entering the car park.

"I heard the woman he was with tell the police that something had kicked off near the tills," the witness who did not want to be named said.

"It kicked off outside and then the manager started shouting at the guy to 'get out'.

"Apparently the fracas arose inside."

However, it the spilled outside when a male member of the public tried to walk past him to get inside.

"The bloke started shouting 'who are you?' He just stood there and the big guy headbutted him," he said.

"He smashed something off his head. Everyone got involved and bustled him to the floor.

"He got up again and he punched someone from The Range.

"They've closed the shop and they're turning cars away from the car park."

It is understood that three police cars, including one from the dog section attended, along with an ambulance.

Humberside Police were contacted for comment.
