THIS is the shocking moment a violent brawl breaks out in front of children at a Florida lake resort.
An argument descended into a fierce scrap, with one man knocked out cold and receiving CPR right next to Lake Winterset, Polk County.
The astonishing footage shows around nine men in swim shorts squaring up to one another on the grassy sandbar.
One man lands an almighty suckerpunch to the side of another’s face, and he collapses to the ground.
Scuffles break out between various pairs, who run and tumble around the area.
Powerful swings are aimed at faces and some wrestle on the ground.
The man initially knocked down staggers to his feet before being walloped again by the same puncher.
This time, he is out cold and stays down.
A woman in a pink bikini rushes out of the lake to attend to the casualty and begins giving CPR – though there’s no suggestion his heart had stopped.
Most of the group pull apart, though one sparring duo remain locked in a grapple.
Families including kids sit on their boats and watch the violence unfold, aghast.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office said they had arrested eight people – seven men and a 17-year-old boy – following the wild clash.
They confirmed that young children had been present.
Sheriff Grady Judd vowed he would make an example of the hooligans.
He said: “You can knucklebust and create brain injuries to each other on your own property without creating a disturbance to your neighbors.
“It’s over, folks. I think I’ve said that enough.
“The conduct is reprehensible and, obviously, you don’t believe us when we try to warn you.
“So you have unleashed the teeth of the dog, and now we’re going to start biting you, just like we bit these guys here.”
The Winterset Lake is often plagued by dodgy characters and criminality, according to the Sheriff.
In May, the Polk County Commission passed an order banning boaters from the shoreline at specific lakes – including the sandbar on Lake Winterset.
The motion is in the final stages of state approval but hasn’t come into effect yet.
