Moment car ploughs into bare-chested thugs brawling on street with machetes in bizarre broad-daylight carnage
HORRIFYING footage shows the moment a car ploughed into machete-wielding thugs brawling on the street in broad daylight. The bare-chested yobs were captured on camera fighting on Clements Place in Dundee, Scotland. 4 4 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.
