Armed police descended on a petrol station forecourt after a machete-wielding gang attacked three men in Bolton.
Police were called to reports of a disturbance at the Shell garage on Chorley Old Road at around 9.35pm on Sunday (June 20).
Shocking footage taken at the scene showed a gang with weapons running across the petrol station.
It also appeared to show a car driving dangerously before speeding through the forecourt and hitting a man.
A large cordon was put in place last night with armed police and paramedics all called to the incident.
Smashed glass could be seen within the taped-off area as well as debris strewn across the ground.
Two men, aged 39 and 37, have since been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.
They remain in police custody for questioning, GMP confirmed.
A 27-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be life threatening or changing.
Enquiries into the incident are ongoing, a spokesman for GMP said.
