Shocking video captured the terrifying moment three masked teenage thugs clashed in an English street, wildly swinging 24-inch machetes at one another during a broad-daylight brawl.
The chilling footage, recorded by a startled motorist, shows a hoodlum in black repeatedly hacking at another teen with the large blade before the pair spiral into a violent tussle with a third brawler in the middle of the road around 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 in Leeds, according to SWNS.
The three assailants, brandishing their weapons, then dashed around in a frantic circle before two of them ran toward an electric bike lying in the Kirkstall Hill street, according to the video.
Moments later, one charged back at the third brute, viciously thrashing his machete at the hooligan, who was later seen kneeling on the ground, reportedly injured in the frenzied melee, the wild footage showed.
Nigel Himsworth, a 52-year-old dad from South Yorkshire, was heading home from a soccer match with his son when the wild skirmish erupted, raging on for about 10 minutes, according to the outlet.
“We were coming down the slip road and there were cars stopped in front of us,” he said, adding that he “rolled down his window and popped my head out to see the lads going at each other with machetes.”
“It made me feel sick to the bone, it was brutal,” Himsworth said, noting that his son was very upset.
“It wasn’t very nice to see and it just goes to show how lawless the country is becoming. I’ve never seen a weapon so big in my life, they were huge. Luckily it seemed no one was seriously injured but that is beside the point as fights likes these shouldn’t be happening in broad daylight.”
The shaken parent said police only arrived after the suspected assailants fled on electric bikes.
An 18-year-old — who suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries during the scuffle — was arrested and charged with threatening a person with a blade in a public space, the outlet reported.
The teen is expected to appear in court at a later date.
The West Yorkshire Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
