There were plates flying, chair legs swinging and even a bar stool soaring across the room.

A wild brawl between cricket fans was started by one overly-exuberant Indian supporter rubbing others up the wrong way, according to a witness.

Two men, aged 18 and 20, were arrested on Monday afternoon and were expected to be charged with riot and affray, police said.

Mohak, who asked for his surname to be withheld, filmed the extraordinary scenes at Merrylands RSL on Sunday night as rival fans threw bottles across the room, swung bar stools and broke off chair legs.
