Disturbing footage has been published of a wild brawl at an under 13s rugby league game that left one man with facial injuries so severe he needed surgery.

The Courier Mail obtained the video that shows the violent scenes at a Brisbane junior game between Wynnum Manly and Logan Brothers on Sunday.

Up to 20 people are seen running into the fracas and one man appears to be kicked in the head.

On Monday, it was reported 35-year-old father Josh Jones had undergone facial surgery to repair injuries allegedly sustained during the brawl.

The Courier Mail says police are searching for a 36-year-old man.

“A Logan spectator or supporter has had an altercation with people from Wynnum in grandstands, where there was an argument which has then turned physical and gone on into the field of play,” a police statement said.

“The person from Wynnum was then assaulted and taken away in an ambulance with significant injuries.

“We’re treating the incident very seriously, we’re concerned about the conduct of adults at a sporting event involving teenagers and we won’t be tolerating this sort of behaviour.”

No charges have been late as yet.
