LAWLESS BRITAIN Shocking video shows machete gang chasing, kicking and slashing victim as UK knife violence spirals out of control Chilling video footage shows at least seven hooded yobs pounce on a man beside a busy road as traffic drives past. The brutal attack — involving hammers and at least two machetes — is believed to have taken place in Birmingham yesterday afternoon. No one from West Midlands Police was available to comment. But the force had tweeted on Monday afternoon how it arrested two men on suspicion of possessing offensive weapons. It is not clear if these arrests were connected to the harrowing attack captured on camera and shared on social media. Officers responded to calls from concerned members of the public and gave chase to the suspects on foot. A machete and two hammers were recovered in the Perry Barr area at around 3.40pm. The suspects - aged 20 and 28 - remained in custody last night, the Birmingham Mail reported. It comes as violence on Britain's streets appears set to continue escalating. There have been at least 250 UK knife death victims this year — prompting Home Secretary Sajid Javid to pledge more resources for police. Yesterday he blasted Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London - where five people were stabbed to death over just six days - for saying it could take a decade to stamp out knife crime. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7725459/shocking-video-shows-machete-gang-chasing-kicking-and-slashing-victim-as-uk-knife-violence-spirals-out-of-control/
