Suitcase and plank of wood hurled during huge street fight involving 15 people
Video footage shows a group of around 15 men brawling in the street as they hit each other with a plank of wood and – at one point – a suitcase.
The fight erupted in a residential area of Sparkhill in Birmingham on Wednesday night.
Footage shows the thugs pushing and shoving each other, before one picks up a plank of wood and smacks another around the head with it.
He then drops it and someone else picks it up and whacks a rival on the back.
A third man, meanwhile, is seen picking up a hard suitcase and hurling it another.
Cars were forced to stop as the fighting spilled onto the roads.
One local said: ‘Hyena tactics as usual, five on one.
‘Why have they got planks of wood? Hacksaw Jim Duggan wannabes.’
Hacksaw Jim Duggan was a WWE star in the ’80s and ’90s who used to whack opponents in the ring with a piece of 2×4 inch timber, before shouting ‘Hoooooo.’.
Another resident said: ‘Birmingham is really in the pits.’
While a third joked: ‘Medieval reenactment?’
West Midlands Police has been approached for comment.
Earlier this month footage was shared of a huge brawl at London bowling alley.
Several police vans were called to Tenpin in Bexleyheath, with at least one person taken to hospital as a result of the violence.
