Video has captured the moment a gang of masked teenagers attack each other with machetes in a family park. The violence unfolded at Burgess Park in Camberwell , south east London , yesterday lunchtime - with teenagers seen trying to stab one another in broad daylight.
The scene was yet another display of shocking violence in the capital, which has seen crime figures soar since Sir Sadiq Khan became its Labour mayor in 2016, despite his boasts that the capital is a 'safe city'. In the footage filmed at about 12.30pm, a teenager tries to stab and slash another as an onlooker screams 'stab him.
' A third masked boy then restrains one of their opponents on the floor for several seconds, allowing a knifeman to try and stab him repeatedly. A bystander then steps in forcing the two attackers to run away, while the teenager who was wrestled to the floor gets onto a scooter and rides off. The scene was filmed by terrified locals, and later posted on social media with the caption: 'This is London.
' It came just one day after a horde of hooded youths with balaclavas descended on a JD Sports shop on Ilford High Road in East London, grabbing armfuls of clothes. Footage on Saturday captured the shoplifters spreading out across the store, before trying to make off with goods - before being tackled by young female staff members. Video shared on social media showed three teens carrying machetes fighting in Burgess Park, Camberwell.
One of the teens can be seen restraining a boy while a friend tries to stab him in broad daylight. A force spokesperson said: 'Police were called at around 12.30pm on Sunday, May 17 to reports of an altercation in Burgess Park, Camberwell. Officers attended and searched the area with the assistance of the police helicopter. Four boys, aged 16 and 17, were arrested on suspicion of offences including affray, causing grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon.
The investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 3298/17MAY or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111
