A mass street brawl involving knives, machetes and even swords has been caught on camera with the brutal incident happening in broad daylight close to two busy railway stations.
The shocking footage captured a fight on London Road in Croydon town centre with a large crowd seen spilling off the pavement and into the road.
The men can be heard shouting while bats and blades are wielded before some are seen walking off, apparently injured.
It is not yet known if anyone was seriously hurt in the mass brawl, reports MyLondon, but trhe footage originally shared via Snapchat shows what starts as a brawl between two men escalating to include what appears to be a black metal sword.
The incident appears to show one man from the original fight withdrawing, before being pursued by a number of armed people.
Another angle shows multiple separate fights appear to be taking place with men being thrown around the pavement and into shop windows and shutters.
Some of the men are seen to launch items several metres down the street.
A spokesman for the Met Police said: "Police were called to London Road, Croydon, shortly after 7.02pm on Tuesday, September 3 to reports of 20 men fighting with weapons.
"Officers attended. The group had left the scene. One knife was recovered. There were no reported injuries. Enquiries continue."
