This is the bizarre moment half a dozen men launched mops at each other during a brawl in the centre of a busy shopping centre.  

Three men held mops aloft as they battered each other across the head in Manchester's The Trafford Centre.

Footage of the fight shared online on Wednesday showed long mop handles snapping as the boys, who appeared to be teenagers, quarrelled. 

As they hit each other with the mops others stood around watching. 

Social media users couldn't help but laugh as the video circulated online - with many viewers comparing the fight with mops to 'a roadman's Star Wars'.
