New Delhi: A chaotic scene unfolded at Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital in New Delhi after a brawl broke out reportedly between family members of a patient and hospital guards with both sides throwing objects at each other including chairs, helmets, fire extinguishers, and even slippers. The disturbing visual of the incident quickly went viral on social media.
In the viral video, individuals on both sides are seen grabbing every possible object near them and throwing it at each other aiming to injure their targets.

As per a Free Press Journal news report, the ruckus erupted in the hospital's waiting room on Monday night. Although the matter initially started with an altercation, soon escalated to violence. However, the exact cause behind the fight remains unclear.
A woman in the video can be seen making desperate attempts to de-escalate the situation. She tried to alert the police and urged hospital guards to close the gates to prevent further chaos. Despite her efforts, the fight continued.
