More men start piling into each other, with one lad kicking another man as he stumbles while trying to get up from the floor. But all hell then breaks loose as four or five other guys start on each other, while some try to break up the scuffling.
Meanwhile, in the stairwell a man can be seen holding down another as a third lands punches to his body. The sickening scenes of violence were condemned by social media users.
One of whom wrote: "Good day's racing yesterday at Aintree but sad to see yet more violence on racecourses." Another described the whole incident as "shameful" with a third writing: "There's nothing more cringe than seeing grown men fighting."
