A violent brawl erupted outside a bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, overnight as unruly spring breakers were caught on camera wreaking havoc in the streets.

Wild video captured by The Post showed the moment half a dozen teens started beating a male outside the Dicey Riley’s Irish Pub early Wednesday as St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans descended into chaos.

The mob could be seen kicking one male wearing a dark-colored shirt to the ground and repeatedly landing punches at about 3 a.m. as a crowd of revelers watched.

At one point, the group had the guy pinned against a car as they continued to pummel him. After taking a beating, he got to his feet and left, cops said.

Amid the chaos, another reveler lost consciousness after he slipped and fell. That man, wearing a yellow shirt, was treated by EMTs at the scene, according to Fort Lauderdale police.

It wasn’t immediately clear what led up to the violence, or if anyone was arrested.

The violent scenes came just days after footage exploded on social media of hundreds of spring breakers frantically fleeing Daytona Beach after hearing what they feared were gunshots.

Footage shot from a hotel balcony showed the terrified beachgoers screaming as they scattered from the beach.

After the clip went viral, the Volusia County sheriff clarified that the sound of people crushing water bottles is actually what sparked the panic.
