Footage has emerged of the shocking moment machete-wielding youths were seen fighting at a UK train station. The incident took place at Worthing Station, West Sussex, on Sunday evening, October 11.
The footage, filmed from inside a train carriage, shows three men armed with blades. Two of the men appear to be targeting a third. One of the men had a machete-style knife.
Passengers watch from train
The men can be seen lunging and slashing at each other on the platform while terrified passengers watch on from inside the train carriage. As the train starts moving away, the man wearing a grey tracksuit can be seen running from the other two men down the platform.
Two of the men, dressed in black, appeared to be targeting a third. The circumstances around the incident remain unclear.
Police search and investigation
Police attended the scene around 6.30pm on Sunday evening but the men had fled before the cops arrived. Officers searched the area and cordoned off the station as an investigation got underway. It's unknown whether any of the men were injured.
British Transport Police have asked witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
