A thug smashed a bottle over a man's head in a terrifying row over dogs on Saturday as tempers soared during the hottest day of the year.

Shocking footage showed a calm evening on the Thames Path in Greenwich descending into chaos as the altercation escalated into a bloody brawl.

The trouble appeared to start when a large dog pounced on a smaller dog that was passing.

 

As the dogs bark, a man in a red polo shirt holding a bottle, who had been walking beside the woman with the smaller dog, angrily confronts the owner of the larger dog.

Almost immediately, a bald man in a white t-shirt gets between the two. It is not clear if the man in the white t-shirt knows the owner of the larger dog - a woman in a red and white dress who is standing off to the side.

Officers are also investigating the disappearance of the e-scooter that was being ridden at the time of the crash, which is believed to have been stolen from the scene.
