The moment a knife-wielding youth appeared to stab several teenagers on a London street was captured by screaming bystanders who watched the ordeal in horror.
The violent incident happened on Acre Lane in Brixton early on Thursday evening and was posted on social media platform TikTok.
In the shocking footage, a youth dressed in navy jogging bottoms and a hoodie plunges towards several teenagers, appearing to strike one within seconds.
The victim then seems to lose his balance and falls to the ground, before the knife-wielding youth targets another member of the group.
The person filming, the passenger of a nearby car, shouts ‘look, he’s getting stabbed’ before letting out a louder scream as the brawl continues.
Speaking to Newsflare, the bystander said: ‘A group of young males were seen running into the street armed with knives, clashing in front of traffic and even hitting into the car I was in, leaving a dent.’
Although the filmer claimed several youths had knives, only one can be clearly seen holding a weapon.
