It appears a man was just trying to do the right thing by not letting his friend drink and drive in Guelph, Ont., on Thursday night, but it resulted in a fight and Guelph police being called.

Officers were dispatched to a restaurant near Clair Road and Gordon Street at around 10:30 p.m. for reports of a fight outside.

Police said a drunk man had left the restaurant and tried to drive away but his friend stopped him which led to the fight.
