New York's City's Washington Square Park which has been the scene of a number of late night brawls and scuffles with police over last few weeks has now become host to fighting of a different kind - unlicensed boxing matches complete with a referee and time keeper.
The Manhattan park appeared more like Madison Square Garden as boxing matches took place in front of hundreds of people, all of which was all caught on camera.
At least five matches took place close to the famous arch in Greenwich Village with participants paying five dollars to take part.
One fighter ended up dislocating his shoulder during the knockabout and had to have another man shove it back into its socket.
Photographer Angel Zayas said there was no supervision whatsoever, nor did the NYPD attempt to break up the bouts.
'The NYPD did not enter the park to stop the fights there was a large crowd which created a circle making it very difficult for people to get in and even when there was an injury of the man's shoulder being dislocated.
No one was called to help nor an ambulance. They fixed it themselves and continued the fight,' Zayas told DailyMail.com.

In my area after canceling all fireworks displays last year, all counties near me have banned fireworks.
Enjoy your freedom everyone.
Just sink the whole fekkin’ island. What’s left to save?
To think....just two years ago, hubby and I dined a block away from Washington Square and walked through the park, after dinner, no problems/fear/worries.
Just sickening.

Our area has fireworks stands on every corner, just about.
We’ve planned a YUGE celebration for the entire town.
“First rule about Fight Club: Don’t talk about Fight Club.”
Once the illegals take root, it will be cock fighting.
It is rather common in Hawaii( although illegal). Not too many illegal aliens here. Some of my best friends raise fighting cocks. It is a big part of Philippine culture. I don’t approve of it, but I don’t approve of LGBTQ culture either, but I have to tolerate it.
Be tolerant.
Ok, who let the cat out of the bag about Fight Club?
People want to be tiktok famous nowadays. It’s a different mindset than the one that drove our parents and us - he who dies with the most toys wins. Which required quiet neighborhoods, settled households, steady jobs, straight living and a modicum of privacy, in order to steadily accumulate wealth. Now the prison yards are in the streets, along with the children raised to be feral by preoccupied single parents, emboldened by a permissive policy towards rioting and social disruption, living moment to moment as the video rolls.
To all the useful idiots, elections have consequences.
What I see happening to every American city especially the great ones is heartbreaking. Bin Laden could not have done it better.
Somebody violated the First Rule of Fight Club.
Was it bare knuckles?
Everyone is wearing a mask, no?
Daniel Day-Lewis is the greatest character actor of all time.
It appeared to be good clean fun to me.
from what I read it was, it was the people that the boxers ran out of the park that were the problem.
The cops saw the organizers had it all well in hand.
boxing matches were complete with a referee and time keeper.

First rule of Vegan fight club: tell everyone you see you’re a vegan and then argue about their nonvegan life choices.
The two yuts.
