This is the moment two men engaged in a terrifying machete fight in broad daylight on a residential street - leaving one in hospital.
The warring pair - both clad all in black - were seen taking swipes at each other with the huge blades. The knifemen jockeyed backwards and forwards trying to avoid being stabbed. A blue BMW turned up and then sped off down the road. One of the men then got on a push bike that had been discarded on the road.
Paramedics took one man who was stabbed in the shocking scenes to hospital. He was found in a neighbouring road 300 metres away. His injuries are not life-threatening. A man has now been arrested and charged. The horror was filmed by an onlooker from an upstairs window in the neighbouring house in a 56-second video.
