An incident during the Twelfth Parade in Holyland — an Ulster Protestant celebration in Belfast, Northern Ireland — has gone viral after a spectator picked up the garbage can from his front yard and threw it at a drummer in what appears to be the Bangor Protestant Boys Band as they marched down the street.
The entire band suddenly rushed the perpetrator, who then ran inside his home. But band members seemingly won the fight when they picked up a large trash can on the man’s property and threw it at — and smashed — his front window.
Two police officers jumped in and attempted to defuse the situation, which was captured in a 40-second clip on Twitter that has been viewed more than 12 million times.
Members of Orange Order — an international Protestant fraternal group based in North Ireland — also waved the band members back to their places, according to a report on Belfast Live.
