Horrific footage emerges of a machete brawl on a London street, with a car being used in the attack

A crowd of pedestrians filmed as a white car manoeuvred in Edgware Road, with two men following its movements

Extreme violence shut down a London’s longest street this weekend when a machete-wielding knifeman swung a blade during a brawl.

A crowd was seen gathering round a white car on the Edgware Road in the capital. Two men were seen following its movements before the driver in the white vehicle - which was decorated with an eagle sticker - appeared to try and plough it into the group of pedestrians. 

The thugs were then seen attacking the car, seemingly trying to pull the driver from the front seat. In footage which appears to have been filmed yesterday afternoon, screams can be heard in the background.

At one point, one of the suspects jabs through the open window with some kind of weapon. As onlookers try to interrupt the violence, they’re shoved back violently. One of the individuals is then seen trying to move the men away from the car. As he does, the driver gets out of his vehicle and walks to the boot, where he retrieves the massive machete and starts attacking the men gathered around. 

Moving away from the vehicle, the brawl continues as the armed man swings at the pedestrians. Rather than running away, one man seems to be looking for an opportunity to hit the knifeman as he swipes with the massive blade.

Social media users were shocked by the footage, with one saying: "This is too much. The streets are not safe. Total lawlessness." The Mirror has approached the Metropolitan Police for comment.
