    A laughing horde of bicyclists attacked a California liquor store worker before screaming as the worker pulled a gun on his attackers and fleeing during a chaotic scene caught on video.

    The unidentified employee was standing outside Golden Hours Liquor on International Boulevard in Oakland on Saturday when he confronted over two dozen bicyclists who had surrounded the area outside the store.

    The worker attempts to get in the face of one of the bikers, who is punching his fist against his other hand in a taunting manner, video posted to Instagram showed.

    As the two are talking, another biker slaps the worker across the face, knocking the worker’s hat off as he backs up from his off-camera attacker.

    Another biker, wearing a balaclava, rushes up behind the worker and punches the unsuspecting victim in the side of the neck before landing another punch on the worker’s head, prompting others to follow suit.

    The bikers’ attack quickly turns the area outside the store into a madhouse as dozens of people jump the worker, landing punches and slaps on their target.

    “Get him, get him,” multiple people shout.

    Several of the laughing bikers land punches on the worker’s head and torso as they back him into the store’s entrance.

    The worker, with his back bent as he takes the punches being thrown at him, pulls out a handgun — sending the formerly tough bikers into a frantic dash to escape.

    The armed worker positions himself with his back close to a wall as he aims his weapon at one of the attackers, before dropping his arm and chasing them on foot.

    “Where you at, where you at,” the worker shouts as the cameraman has trouble grabbing his bike on the ground.

    A separate video captures the worker chasing down one of the bikers in a gray hoodie and face mask before swiping at him, forcing the biker to fall down.

    Oakland police responded around 4:15 p.m. to investigate a “ShotSpotter activation,” the Oakland Police Department told the Daily Mail.

    “ShotSpotter” is a gunshot detection system that alerts first responders when it picks up gunfire.

    Officers “located evidence of a shooting,” but there were no reports of any injuries, according to the outlet.

    No arrests were made in Saturday’s melee.
