Chaotic moment street fight explodes in Islington before motorist runs over cyclist during the melee
This is the moment chaos broke out on the streets of London yesterday as a motorist appeared to run over a cyclist. In footage posted online, a man holding a baseball bat was seen crossing the road. He was spotted approaching another person in Islington, north London. However, the man with the baseball bat was charged at by another man in a balaclava and fell over, scrambling backwards as he was pursued. The second man was joined by a third. They continued chasing the man before running back over the road. The incident happened on Holloway Road, near to where Arsenal FC play their home matches, at the Emirates Stadium. Video of the scene later showed a car that appeared to have no rear window driving into a cyclist as members of the public watched on. A Met Police spokeswoman said: 'We were called at 11.37am on Saturday, May 24, to reports of a group of people fighting in Holloway Road, N19. 'Met officers responded and arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon. He remains in custody. 'There were no reports of any injuries.

Shocking moment driver mows down cyclist during Islington street brawl
A violent incident caught on camera in north London shows the shocking moment a cyclist is run over by a car in broad daylight following a heated confrontation involving weapons. Footage filmed in Islington shows two men squaring up to each other — one brandishing what appears to be a baseball bat, the other wearing a mask and reportedly wielding a knife. The man with the bat is knocked to the ground before the clip cuts to the masked man attempting to cycle away. Moments later, he is struck by the same man, now behind the wheel of a car. Today in Islington — London & UK Street News (@CrimeLdn) May 24, 2025 Police have since confirmed they were called at 11.37am on Saturday to reports of a group of people fighting on Holloway Road. Officers attended the scene and arrested a 38-year-old man in connection with the incident. There were no reports of any injuries, the Met said. Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing. A local councillor in Islington said: 'This kind of street violence is deeply concerning. We encourage the public to assist the police and ensure our streets remain safe.' This latest example of violence comes after another video showed a group of men with machetes throwing traffic cones and metal poles at each other in a vicious altercation outside a night club in Mayfair, North London. Four people were arrested and two sustained injures in the incident. These fights illustrate what some are calling a disturbing trend of aggressive and violent acts perpetrated across the capital, many involving dangerous and illegal weapons.
