One man holds down the other while punching him in the face.
Meanwhile, the man with the machete chases down his opponent and kicks at him.
Suddenly, a bigger group joins in and kicks the man who has fallen to the floor.
When he stands up, the man carrying the huge blade swings the weapon at him.
Shocked passersby and members of security wearing hi-vis vests watch on.
The video was filmed yesterday (5 January), as reported by Need to Know.
Shocked local Heather said: “Normal day now.”
Another person claimed: “Security and police should be allowed to have firearms.”
A third said: “A place I tend to avoid on a regular basis.
“There’s always trouble.”
Tony wrote: “Mandatory prison sentence for carrying a knife in public.”
Baz said: “Just thinking, security guards are absolutely pointless, aren’t they?
“They aren’t even a deterrent. Not criticising them personally at all.
“I’m sure they agree, but what is the point any more?”
A sixth person added: “I’ll be honest, if I’m security I’m leaving them to it.”
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Police were called at approximately 7 pm on Sunday, 5 January to reports of a fight involving a group of people, some armed with knives, in the vicinity of Westfield, E20.
“Officers and London Ambulance Service attended.
“There were no reports of any serious injuries.
“Four males – aged 16 and 17 – were arrested on suspicion of affray.
“Enquiries into the circumstances continue.”
