Description:
Two men were filmed taking their shirts off and fighting each other in the middle of traffic on a busy high street in ‘lawless’ London.<br/><br/>Shocked eye-witnesses told how the thugs punched and yelled at each other, before bystanders intervened and tried to separate them.<br/><br/>One man stayed in the road – causing passing cars and buses to honk at him – before he was eventually dragged away from the scene by his friends.<br/><br/>The violent incident, which took place on Streatham High Road in south London, was captured on camera by local resident Kenneth Cooke.<br/><br/>The 70-year-old was at home when he heard shouting from outside.<br/><br/>“It was mid-afternoon, and I heard a lot of yelling going on outside,” Mr Cooke explained.<br/><br/>“So, I looked out my window and two guys with their shirts off were punching each other in the middle of the road. <br/><br/>“Lots of people were trying to break them up.” <br/><br/>Mr Cooke said the pair had been separated by the time he started filming – but he did capture some of the aftermath.<br/><br/>“They were yelling and lots of buses and cars were honking. <br/><br/>“Eventually, one of them was dragged away by his friends – and the other guy tried to kick a motorcycle over three times before the rider pulled out what looked like a blade.<br/><br/>“Everyone then scattered and he rode off.” <br/><br/>Londoners have reacted with dismay to the incident, commenting their thoughts below the video which was posted on community website NextDoor.<br/><br/>Dave Hamilton wrote: “Broken, violent Britain – no surprises here. Spineless politicians, weak sentencing, absent policing.”<br/><br/>Elaine Chambers added: “We are slowly becoming a lawless state where people have no regard for others.”<br/><br/>And Majella McCaffrey said: “The world’s gone mad. Especially since lockdown, people’s anger has gone through the roof.”<br/><br/>Others questioned the reason the men had undressed, with Roy Evans commenting: “It’s shocking enough that they’re brawling.<br/><br/>“But what’s their need to strip off?” <br/><br/>Meanwhile, Féa Erzi tried to see the positive side of things, writing: “Well, at least no knives were involved.”
