As many as eight people were involved in the brutal street fight as shocked motorists watched on in horror.
A number of thugs were armed with metal poles and machetes as the scrap spilled across a pavement outside residential properties at around 1.40pm yesterday.
The aggression escalates and one of the men wearing an orange hi-vis top punches another one before starting to fight him and another man.
A fourth man then begins wielding what appears to be a metal pole and hits the hi-vis man in the back.
He then starts swinging it at another group of men waiting at a nearby van.
More men wearing hi-vis vests then pour out the vehicle and chase after the guy with the pole.
He is then knocked to the ground by the man who threw the first punch, and is repeatedly punched and kicked by two others.
As one of the group leaps into the white van, the Mini reverses, smashing into the side of it during the wild scenes.
A car engine and screeching tyres are then heard as a grey Mini appears and drives at one of pole man's attackers.
The motor speeds between the van and another parked car and hits a man wearing a yellow hi-vis vest.
A loud thud is heard as he hits the bonnet of the car before being thrown against a nearby lamppost and falling to the ground.
One man then picks up the metal pole and smashes the van's windscreen with it.

The motor speeds between the van and another parked car and hits a man wearing a yellow hi-vis vest.
The van then speeds away from the scene before two of the group jump into the Mini and lead chase as the clip ends.
It's understood the area was sealed off by officers following the incident last night.
A 24-year-old man was rushed to Ninewells Hospital after the rammy broke out.
The condition of the injured man is not currently known.
Officers have also confirmed that a burnt-out vehicle, believed to be the Mini, was discovered in the nearby Baldovan Woods area at around 4.10pm on Tuesday.
Cops are currently probing whether this was linked to the earlier disturbance and their enquiries are ongoing.
