CCTV captured the moment four Metropolitan Police officers brawled with a group of Romanians after the force's drunken Christmas boat party descended into violence.
Members of the Met's Territorial Support Group (TSG) had been downing beer and Jagerbombs in the afternoon before they attended a party on the River Thames on December 1, 2023.
When the boat docked near the London Eye at around 11pm, Jack Sparkes, 34, Max Michaels-Dubois, 33, and Daniel Dean, 38, accused a group of assaulting their colleague Alex Fackerell, 32, before quickly getting embroiled in a fight themselves.
Video captured Sparkes and Michael-Dubois then punching a member of the group, before Dean appeared to headbutt one of them.
Another member of the TSG, Kelsey Millar, 32, then pushed a man before further assaulting Jhanaelle Samuels, a security guard who had been looking to break the altercation up.
