Bystanders can be seen looking on in horror as the trio fight one another in the street outside the Alexandra Pub in Canning Town.
The footage was shared to social media on Sunday evening, with the caption, ‘Meanwhile in Canning Town.’
The two men can be seen embroiled in a fist fight before their female companion gets involved but gets violently knocked to the floor.
Onlookers rush to help her as the men continue to fight in the middle of the road.
In the clip the brawlers can be heard screaming at one another as one shouts, ‘I’ll stab him right now.’
The person filming the scenes says: ‘This is what happens when lockdown ends.’
Many were quick to point out the shocking scenes came less than a week after pubs across the UK had reopened.
Twitter user Lukman Iqbal wrote: ‘Well good to see pre lockdown London is back! Great.’

Another wrote: ‘Now we can say that UK is back to normality,’ while others added simply, ’embarrassing.’
Since the restriction easing on April 12, the ‘stay local’ rule has been lifted and people have been allowed to gather in groups of six outdoors, including in pub gardens.
It remain unclear if the party were known to one another.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Police were called at 22:11hrs on Sunday, 18 April following reports of a fight in Barking Road near to the junction with Newhaven Lane.
‘Officers attended. There were no reports of any serious injuries and no arrests.’
