This is the moment a man reached for a gun as a thug stormed into a sports bar with a knife.

The ECHO previously reported how two men were caught on CCTV approaching a group of people outside Parnells in Waterloo shortly after 11pm on Wednesday. This footage captures the incident outside the sports bar on South Road.

In the CCTV a man appears to pull a knife from his trousers and move quickly towards a person standing at the door. He is then grabbed by a number of men and dragged in the door of the bar.

The second masked man is then seen trying to hit another member of the group who is standing close to the railings. The man quickly punches him first, they grapple with each other and the masked man runs from the scene.

Moments later, the man with the knife is dragged back out onto the footpath where two men attempt to wrestle the knife from him. As they punch and grab him, one man is seen holding, what appears to be, a gun to him before it quickly disappears from view.
