A gang of yobs armed with machetes went on a terrifying rampage on a residential street.

At least three men, all dressed in black, were caught on camera swinging the large knives at each other in front of horrified passersby.

A bike was left blocking the road while the men continued their fight around it.

In footage filmed by a witness, two of the attackers lift the bike before one runs back to continue swinging his machete.

The incident happened on Kirkstall Hill in Leeds on Saturday (8 November), as reported by Need To Know.

Witness Nige Himsworth, who filmed the shocking clip, said: “It was a scary situation and I just wanted to stop someone from being killed.”

In the video, Nige gets out of his car while a passenger begs him to stay inside.

He later shared the footage on social media, where it sparked outrage.

One viewer wrote: “So bright, lit-up sunny day, casually swinging machetes at each other without a care in the world.

“Some of these people are well and truly lost.”

Another said: “‘You’re lucky you live in England.’ I’m tired of hearing people tell me that when this is what’s happening out here.

“Stay safe, everyone.”

Others called for harsher punishments and stricter laws.

One person said, “Tougher sentencing should be made as soon as possible.”
