"It's not every day your dash cam catches a brawl break out, let alone one that occurs on Chinese New Year," writes the poster.
"An even more rare scene given I was installing a dash cam into the brand new 2020 Mercedes GLB in the background at the time. By the end of the video I noticed what was going on and asked the boys to quit horsing around."
"Had something have happened to my car - this would have been great evidence as the faces in the video are clear and I recognize some of the adolescents in this video in the food court often."
