Two men had a medieval-style sword fight with huge blades in the middle of a street.

Shocked motorists were forced to slow down as the armed brawl spilled into the road.

One of the men took a swing at his rival with the huge, 2ft long machete.

He swiped in a downward motion as the other man – also welding a massive machete – stepped back.

About ten other men – also all clad in back – were involved in the running battle up the street.

A white Ford Fiesta slowly drove by in one direction.

Another car and a grey VW Golf then passed going the opposite way.

It happened in Homerton, Hackney, north London close to Homerton Hospital on Homerton Grove on Friday (3 Jan).
