Shocking video footage shows the moment a violent brawl broke out between British tourists on Playa del Duque beach in Costa Adeje, Tenerife

The video was shared on Instagram earlier this week and shows one of the men throwing punches for around 15 seconds

Armed with a racket and edging towards his opponent, the man did not last long despite the advantage of a weapon. It was only a few seconds before he was in a headlock, although this was not before he managed to strike his shirtless counterpart.

Eventually, the pair are separated by tourists, frustrated that their peace and tranquillity has been disrupted by 15 seconds of heat-induced violence.

The viral video attracted many amused responsed, such as: “Nice to go on vacation. The sea, the sand, the umbrellas – the fights!!!!”

Playa del Duque is one of the island's highest rated beaches, attracting many summer visitors due to its incredible turquoise water and golden sand.
