Moment yobs fight with machetes on street of residential houses outside PRISON
This is when a group of teenagers started attacking each other with machetes in a residential street outside the prison.
The incident is reported to have occurred outside HMP Birmingham in the early hours of this morning.
Two teenage males in hoodies, both holding a machete, approached another male, wearing body warmers and sweatpants, who was also carrying a machete.
In the footage recorded by a passerby on his mobile phone, two men waved giant knives at each other repeatedly near a bus stop.
After a large release, the male begins to withdraw and leaves.
Two of the three knives used turned out to be about a foot in size.
A source said: ‘It’s extremely arrogant to do this right outside the prison. This shows that young people do not have any worries or concerns about being caught.
‘This is truly disturbing and shocking.’
Three young men were seen fighting with machetes on a residential street in Birmingham.
Two of the hooded youths were seen approaching another man on the street near the prison.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: ‘Shortly before 11pm last night we were called to Winson Green Road to reports of men fighting.
‘The police came to the area and searched, but no suspects could be identified.
‘Anyone with further information can call 101 quoting log 4978 of 8 November.’
It comes as Birmingham continues to be reeling from a series of shocking violent incidents over the past few weeks.
A woman was stabbed in the neck in an ‘unprovoked attack’ at a city center bus stop on Friday.
The victim, in his 30s, suffered ‘serious injuries’ and was taken to hospital where he fought for his life.
West Midlands Police said black British national Djeison Rafael also faces charges relating to two counts of assault and possession of a knife.
Police are continuing to appeal for anyone with information to come forward and say the 21-year-old was wearing a gray tracksuit, black hat, trainers and a backpack.

The woman, in her 30s, was taken to hospital with serious neck injuries.
Rafael will appear in court in Birmingham on Monday.
The attack, which took place just meters from Birmingham New Street station, was the third stabbing reported in the city center in just over a month.
Within a week in October, two 17-year-old boys were stabbed outside a Primark store.
Ahead of one of the attacks, around ten people were said to have been involved in a fight near the city’s iconic bronze Bull statue.
