A thug was caught on camera smacking a man around the head with a pool cue before punching him to the floor in a vicious brawl.
The violent attack was caught on CCTV at the pub on Tuesday evening as other drinkers obliviously carried on their conversations.
The incident was triggered after the victim threw the cue ball off the pool table.
In the clip, two men can be seen leaning over a pool table to pick up their cues as half a dozen other patrons sit at tables around the room.
One of the men, who is wearing a black Nike sweatshirt, stands at the head of the table as he prepares to take his shot.
He appears to ask a third man, who is wearing a black T-shirt, to move out of the way after he started a conversation with his opponent.
But the man in the black T-shirt seems to be unhappy at the request and retaliates by throwing the cue ball off the table.

The first man then swings the wooden stick violently at the victim’s head which causes him to stumble.
He follows it with flurry of punches which send the victim flying into a table before he tumbles over a stool.
The assailant is held back and leaves the pub as the man in the black T-shirt remains lying on the floor.
