Knife fight on Hounslow Road, Feltham - (London & UK Street News / @CrimeLdn)

A boy aged 14 has been arrested after rival gangs fought with machetes on a west London street.

Footage shared on social media shows the thugs brawling outside Feltham railway station in the middle of the afternoon.

Two youths wielding long knives swung at each other several times as at least four others encouraged them.

One of the accomplices appeared to be speaking to someone on a mobile phone.

Bystanders looked on in shock along Hounslow Road, Feltham, at around 2.45pm on Saturday.

One of two women screams, “Oh my God. Call the police,” before a bewildered young girl walks into shot.

Metropolitan Police officers attended the scene and arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and affray.

Two further boys, aged 14 and 17, were later detained on Hampton Hill High Street after fleeing the scene.

A force spokeswomen said: “All three have been bailed pending further investigation.

“Two weapons were recovered by officers. There were no reported injuries.”

Anyone with information that may assist police is asked to call 101, quoting CAD 4098/04OCT25.
