THIS is the shocking moment a street brawl breaks out in broad daylight as bloodied men armed with knives and sticks batter each other.
The chaos was caught on camera after tempers flared on a residential road in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, leading to two arrests.
Footage shows a group of five men, some with bloodied faces, exchanging blows as the scrap spirals out of control.
Passersby in cars are heard beeping their horns as they drive past and according to one witness, schoolchildren were also watching on.
In shocking video obtained by The Sun, one of the group appears to be wielding a knife and blood can be seen pouring from the back of another.
A man in a black jumper and shorts can then be seen grabbing a plank of wood before raising it in the air and slamming it down onto another man’s head.
Police were called and armed cops swarmed Horninglow Road at about 4.30pm on Monday before two men were arrested.
Later footage showed police on the scene and the road taped off in all directions.
One resident, who was eating a pizza and watching a film when he heard a commotion, told The Sun: “I heard screaming outside.
“There were a lot of school children walking past coming back home from school. It was frightening.
“No one has been allowed in or out the street since it happened.
“A large fight with a knife is only going to end one way.
“The people involved in the fight were already gone when police arrived ten minutes later.”
