Woman caught on camera waving knife and yelling racist abuse at man on street
A knife-wielding woman threatened a man with a knife while screaming racial abuse at him in a Birmingham suburb.
The tense confrontation was captured on camera in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham after a disturbance between the pair broke out on Friday night.
The unknown woman could be heard racially abusing the Asian male while brandishing a large blade outside a terraced house.
The man then picks up a piece of cardboard and begins to strike her with it, before she then chases him down the street with the knife.
The two can be heard trading insults, calling each other fat, before the woman begins slashing at him with the blade in the middle of the residential street.
An onlooker arrives on the scene to try and intervene, telling the woman to put down the knife, while the man pulls the rucksack from his back.
He then proceeded to hit her multiple times with the bag before she stumbled into a nearby car, and the bystander managed to step in between the pair.
The footage has since gone viral online, with one user writing: 'There's no space for knife crime, no matter how young or old, male or female.
'Find another solution because it will cause devastating effects, ones that would end up regretting.'
Another added: 'No person should be waving a knife around like that and getting away with it.'
Metro has contacted the West Midlands Police for comment.
In London earlier this month, a party at a park ended with dozens of screams after an attacker began swinging a large knife at a woman. More Trending
Snapchat video captured the moment the hooded perpetrator whipped out the blade in Gladstone Park, north London.
The weapon was inches from slashing the terrified victim, as she backed away while others fled.
A man filming the attack can be heard screaming, 'She backed out a shank, are you mad?' meaning she brought out a knife.
Police arrived at 10 pm after the video went viral on social media, but they could not locate the alleged knife-wielder or weapon, the force told Metro.

Horrified mother find 7ft python slithering through child's bedroom
A horrified mum discovered a hissing 7ft snake slithering through her child's bedroom. Natasha Robinson thought her fiancé Gary Minshull was playing a prank when she discovered the Taiwanese Beauty Rat Snake in their children's bedroom. But the 34-year-old's jaw dropped when she spotted the serpent's tongue suddenly flick in and out of its mouth. Natasha, from Chester, Cheshire, said: 'To begin with, I thought 'it's got to just be a grass snake' or something else not so dangerous but it didn't look anything like the pictures – and it was so big. 'We realised with the size and the look of it that it definitely wasn't native. 'My partner and I were just in disbelief really – especially knowing it had been in there with our daughter. 'I'm just so grateful it was spotted and that she didn't accidentally tread on it.' The wedding accessories business owner quickly ushered three-year-old Primrose along with her sons Jacob, seven, and six-year-old Theo into the garden and checked on her pet cats who she feared might have been eaten. Natasha and her 40-year-old health, safety and quality manager partner contained the snake for two hours before a couple living locally, who own exotic pets, took it away. Taiwanese Beauty Rat Snakes are a non-venomous constrictor snake butthey can grow up to 10ft long. It's legal to keep without a licence in Britain and they are usually docile but can strike if they perceive a threat. 'One of my sons is autistic, he would've grabbed it. I dread to think what could've happened then,' Natasha said. Natasha believes the snake may have got into their house before last month's incident through an open window. Although now safely fostered, she spent the days after the incident frantically checking the bed in case another one got in. Natasha said: 'The children weren't frightened of it, they thought it was really cool having a snake in their bedroom. 'It was totally bizarre. You'd think if it was a loved pet it would've been claimed. 'We have been like celebrities around here ever since, I'm asked about it constantly.'

Thief hides 76 bottles of stolen wine in wheelie bin and flees in tuk-tuk
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A tuk-tuk driver was caught on CCTV using a wheelie bin to steal 76 bottles of wine in thefts that amounted to £24,000. Iuliu Kubola broke into a restaurant in central London on May 6 before loading the haul into his pedicab and cycling away. The 61-year-old was arrested when a vigilant police officer recognised him as a person of interest following a police briefing. PC Jordan Felstead stopped the Islington resident outside a bar in the Cornhill financial heartland on June 22. After making enquiries with the City of London Police's Criminal Investigations Department, he discovered that Kubola was a suspect connected to a spate of burglaries. He had been seen on CCTV taking the bottles of wine, putting them into the bin and loading it into the back of his pedicab. Kubola returned to the Threadneedle Street restaurant on June 15 to steal a further three bottles, worth around £680. He went back four days later but left without taking anything. Det Con Marcus Fairclough, of the Criminal Investigation Department, said: 'Thanks to the good work by our officers, who spotted him and quickly made enquiries and the arrest, Iuliu Kubola will face the consequences of his criminality. 'Burglary has a significant impact on businesses and residential communities. 'We will attend all reports of break-ins in the city; giving us the best chance of making an arrest and collecting evidence from a scene. 'We will always take this type of criminality seriously and thoroughly investigate all evidential leads, including forensics, to bring those perpetrators to justice.' Kubola damaged an external door and locks, costing £1,425 to repair. Physical forensics manager Andrew Walker said: 'Our fast response is vital to maximise forensic opportunities and lessen the impact on the victims. 'Being burgled is horrendous; not being able to tidy up or open your business and resume trading exacerbates this massively. More Trending 'The victim is at the heart of everything we do. Delivering them justice, whilst minimising the impact that crime has on them, is the bedrock on which City of London Police Forensic Services operates.' City of London Police said it is one of the few forces where scenes of crimes officers go to every incident where forensics can be recovered and it does not screen out 'low level' crime. Kubola will be sentenced in September. Do you have a story you would like to share?
