A man had his arm almost hacked off in a fight involving two rival restaurants in central London.
Staff from Azmar restaurant and the nearby Donya restaurant were caught up in the brawl last night which left pools of blood in Edgware Road.
The dispute began at 10pm after two cousins fell out when one began working for the rival establishment.
An employee of the recently opened Donya restaurant, who used to work at Azmar restaurant, is said to have confronted his cousin demanding his last pay cheque.
A row ensued and up to 15 men joined in the fight, which started in the Azmar and spilled out onto the pavement.
One of the men is said to have had part of his arm sliced off outside the nearby Portland
Arms pub.
Shwan Chaker, 35, a friend of the owner of Donya restaurant, said: “The fight was between two cousins. One was working for Azmar but recently started working for Donya. His cousin was not happy and withheld money he owed him.
“The guy from Donya then walked in to Azmar demanding his money and before you know it, there was fighting and blood everywhere. Friends of both of them joined in with the fighting.
