Shocking moment gangs armed with 2ft SWORDS and baseball bats fight in street in Birmingham

THIS is the horrifying moment a gang of youths launched brutal attacks on each other with 2ft swords and baseball bats.

Detectives launched a probe yesterday after the group was caught on camera brawling in broad daylight in Balsall Heath, Birmingham.


Chilling footage shows the masked youths attacking each other with bats and huge swords, before smashing the back window of the white Ford Fiesta.

One youth can be seen hitting the side of the car before four others, who are also wearing hoods, jump out to confront them.

It is unclear if anyone was injured in the attack, but one youth can be seen hacking at a window of the car with the massive blade.

One of the men even loses a shoe in the fight, which seems to end after some flee in a car.
