Pocket-lint got in to a brawl with Motorola on Wednesday night at the launch of its new phone.

Annoyed by criticism over its new handset, the Moto Z10, a Motorola henchman attacked Stuart Miles, editor of the gadget site, when his back was turned only to get his comeuppance when Miles struck back.

A couple of punches, kicks and a bottle smash later, Miles showed Moto who was boss.

Luckily the vicious attack was captured on the Moto Z10 and posted to YouTube for all to see.

The event was to launch the mobile phone in the UK as well as kick start a competition to give budding filmmakers the chance to win £10,000 and a Moto Z10.

The phone, which was first announced at CES earlier in the year, got its UK debut at an event in London on Wednesday.

Focusing on the video aspects of the new handset, journalists at the event were encouraged to get into a brawl (with a stuntman) while the whole experience was filmed using the new phone.

The Moto Z10 features a 3.2 megapixel camera, and the ability to edit movies in the phone without the need of a PC.

Using ShoZu and the HSDPA connectivity users can also upload their footage directly to YouTube or other social networking sites.

The DirectorMe competition asks filmmakers to submit a 90 second film based on one of four story ideas suggested by Moto. Entries will then be judged by a panel of industry pundits from Empire magazine, O2, Motorola and advertising giant Ogilvy.
