This mass brawl kicked off outside the home of Boris Johnson as estate agents and protesters clashed.

Three Foxtons staff were sacked after being caught up in the clash with anarchist demonstrators just two days after Mr Johnson was promoted to Foreign Secretary.

As the footage shows businessmen in smart suits can be seen walking along the road, before police move in to break up the fighting.

The activists, whose faces were covered with scarves and hoods, set off coloured smoke bombs and were there for a demonstration advertised on anarchist group Class War’s website, report the Evening Standard.

It was promoted with the line: “Bring pitchforks, flaming torches and incandescent anger!"

It is believed the Foxtons branch in Upper Street had been forced to close early amid concern it could become a target.

A source told the Standard several Foxtons employees went to a nearby pub before encountering the protesters outside Mr Johnson’s home.

A spokeswoman for Foxtons said: “We were extremely disappointed to learn of this incident.

"Foxtons absolutely does not condone this sort of behaviour.

"We pride ourselves on the professionalism of our agents and this isolated incident was treated with the utmost severity.

“Following an internal investigation, those employees found responsible are no longer working for the company.”
