This is the terrifying moment a machete brawl broke out in the middle of the road as bus passengers screamed in terror.
Three men were seen brandishing knives at each other on Clapham Road, near Stockwell tube station, on Friday afternoon.
Passersby on a passing bus filmed the scuffle as one of the men was forced into the Taste More fish and chip shop next to Pret A Manger, screaming in shock.
As the scene unfolded, one of the bus passengers gasped and said: “Look at the knives.” Another added: “What’s wrong with them?”
Two men dressed in black appeared to be fighting a third man wearing a turquoise top and light gray pants.
At least two people appeared to be wearing masks.
By the end of the video, the man in turquoise clothes appeared to have barricaded himself inside a fish and chip shop.
Two other men were seen trying to pull the door open.
London Ambulance Service said paramedics were on standby and had not attended the scene.
However, police also set up a large cordon past Stockwell Tube station, along Clapham Road and Binfield Road, and in front of Pret A Manger and Taste More.
