Footage of a mass gang brawl between rival gangs broke out in Birmingham today.
The gangs were wielding machetes and baseball bats.
The fightin Birmingham broke out after a Volkswagen Golf and Range Rover crashed into each other when their paths crossed each other. The eye of media.com heard that the rival gangs were known to each other, but one of the gangs were on their way to attack a different group of boys. However, the paths of the rival gang crossed by chance
Suddenly gangs of men poured out of the vehicles and launched an all attack with several weapons.
The gangs were wearing balaclavas, track- suits and hoodies, and went flat out in a gang brawl war.The gang brawl was filmed by onlookers, revealing the true scale of the brawl. A source told the eye of media.com ” it looked something out of a movie. The gang had balaclavas and were going at it without fear or concern. One of my mates recognized the cars involved and told me they have serious beef with each other. He went on his blower(mobile phone) and called one of his mates who knows the gang, and they told him they were on their way to deal with some other guys at the time they met this group of guys.
The gang brawl is just one of several gang wars that take place in Birmingham. One of Britain’s largest city’s, Birmingham has a reputation for drug and territorial feud’s, with innocent people getting caught up in it from time to time. It is surprising that the gang did not consider the fact that their vehicles were on the scene, providing police with the huge potential of capturing their number plates on camera and eventually identifying the owners of the two cars and the assailants. The fact the gangs had balaclavas and weapons show their intention to cause serious damage against someone at some point during their journey.
Rumour has it that the feud involved drug robbery that took place in the past. The first gang had been on their way to deal with another group of boys who had apparently cheated them on a drug deal, after which one of the intended targets of their attack had set up a drug dealer from their gang squad to be robbed. So, this was an angry gang who had been a victim of drug robbery twice and was enraged by falling prey to two set of drug robberies.
It is a shame that members of the public sometimes have to be subjected to this level of fear and public disorder as a result of gangs who can’t conduct their illegal business without it exploding to the streets in this manner. The footage was posted on facebook, and will soon be on youtube if it isn’t already there. Spectators will have an eye full watching this footage and will view it again and again.
