The fight broke out after an altercation between two groups, according to local reports.

The Aloha bar manager and the body guard tried to step in and stop the men from fighting - but instead the Brits reportedly turned against them and started throwing chairs at the staff.

The outburst of violence lasted about a minute before the lads ran off down the street.

Bar manager Ricardo Teixeria said: "At around 1am two groups clashed.

"According to the authorities some of foreign nationality, namely Irish and English, were involved.

"You can just see for yourself what happened in the footage.

"All our employees and security are well and there was no damage to the establishment.

"It is unusual to have this kind of problem.

"Portimao is a calm city and we don't normally have these issues with foreigners or locals."
