Ryan Gosling plays referee in New York street fight

New York, Aug 23 (ANI): Academy Award nominated actor Ryan Gosling was recently spotted breaking up a street fight between two men in New York.

A viral video that spread like wild fire captured the 30-year-old brooding star stopping a fight in the middle of 8th St. in the East Village, reports the New York Daily News.

As a number of other people try to tear two quarrelling men apart, Gosling suddenly appeared and walked toward the altercation in the middle of a New York intersection.

He dropped his belongings on the street and managed to separate the two men while trying to peacefully play referee.

He then escorted the pair away from the oncoming traffic as a gaggle of female admirers gathered alongside the sidewalk after recognizing him as "the guy from 'The Notebook'". (ANI)
