Shocking footage has emerged showing three masked teenagers engaged in a terrifying machete fight on a street in Leeds, England. The video, captured by a passing motorist, shows the teens wielding 24-inch blades in broad daylight.
The footage, reportedly recorded around 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 8, shows one teen dressed in black repeatedly striking another before all three become embroiled in a violent struggle in the middle of Kirkstall Hill, according to SWNS.
At one point, the teenagers run in a frantic circle before two dash toward an electric bike lying on the road. Moments later, one returns to swing his machete at another, who is later seen kneeling and reportedly injured.
Nigel Himsworth, 52, from South Yorkshire, was driving home from a soccer match with his son when the incident unfolded. He described the scene as “brutal” and said his son was visibly shaken.
“We were coming down the slip road, and cars were stopped in front of us,” Himsworth recalled. “I rolled down the window and saw the lads going at each other with machetes. It made me feel sick to the bone.”
Himsworth criticized the growing lawlessness, noting the unusually large size of the weapons. Police reportedly arrived only after the teens fled the scene on electric bikes.
An 18-year-old, who sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries during the fight, was arrested and charged with threatening a person with a blade in public. He is expected to appear in court at a later date.
West Yorkshire Police have not yet responded to requests for comment.
