This is the shocking moment two men fought each other using ladders after one of them was filmed removing a Palestinian flag.

The video appeared online and was secretly filmed by a member of the public.

Through the curtains you can see a bus stop in Tower Hamlets in London.

A man in a white top and a white woolen hat with the flag of England stands with two ladders.

The man places one of the ladders on a metal box, possibly a trash can, and begins to climb the ladder to try to remove the flag from the lamp post.

In the video, the person filming it can be heard saying, “Oh my God! I can’t believe this random dude is trying to take down the flag.

“Some random dude.”

A man climbs to the top of the stairs, grabs a Palestinian flag and yanks it down.

But while he does this, you can see a parked car.

The driver then gets out and pushes the metal box the ladder was on, almost knocking the man in the white hat to the floor.

But the man in the white hat manages to stay on his feet, grabs a ladder and swings at the driver.

The driver grabs a ladder and the man in the hat grabs another ladder and is seen fighting with them.

“Obvious racism,” says the woman who filmed the incident.

A passing driver got out of his car and began to fight with a man in a white hat.  They both used ladders as weapons.

Then another passerby snatches the ladder from the man in the white hat and he runs away.

Mail Online has contacted police for comment.

The Palestinian flag has recently become the subject of controversy due to heightened tensions caused by the war between Israel and Hamas.

There have been several marches in London alone and hundreds around the world as people march in solidarity with the Palestinian cause due to the high number of civilian deaths resulting from the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.

However, some marches have come under criticism due to anti-Semitism among some participants.

The marches also sparked counter-protests from the far right.
