The opening night of the NRL's highly-anticipated Magic Round has been marred by an ugly brawl that erupted in the stands of Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
On Friday evening, footage emerged of a physical altercation at the northern end of the western stand, with approximately half a dozen men throwing punches and falling over chairs.
The sickening fight lasted about a minute before security and police intervened.
The video quickly circulated social media, with rugby league fans voicing their disgust at the crowd behaviour and lack of security intervention.
A Queensland Police spokesperson confirmed to news.com.au that three people involved in the altercation were evicted by police and handed penalty infringement notices for disorderly conduct on a licensed premises — but there are no active assault complaints.
