Watch: gangs carrying swords and baseball bats fight in Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM: This is the terrifying moment a gang of teenagers used 2ft swords and baseball bats to fight each other.

After the group was seen on camera brawling in broad daylight in Balsall Heath, Birmingham, detectives opened an investigation yesterday.

The masked youths battle each other with bats and big swords before smashing the back glass of the white Ford Fiesta, as shown in the chilling video.

One hooded kid can be seen banging the car’s side before four more hooded youths come out to assault them.

It’s unclear if anyone was hurt in the attack, but the massive blade can be seen hacking at a car window by one of the youths.

One of the men even loses a shoe in the brawl, which appears to come to a stop as several of the men depart in a car.

In a second video, a group of teenagers bash a grey automobile before leaping into a waiting red sedan.

Both drivers then leave the area, recklessly running a red light at a nearby intersection.
