This is the shocking moment a knife-wielding youth chased after a couple of teenagers on a Brixton street in broad daylight.

Footage captured by TikTok user @missg_5 shows the moment the young man, brandishing a knife, sprints after a couple of youths on Acre Lane.

The filmer was the passenger of a passing car when the incident occurred, she told Newsflare: "A group of young males were seen running into the street armed with knives, clashing in front of traffic and even hitting into the car I was in, leaving a dent. Bystanders, including older women, can be heard shouting and trying to stop the fight as the situation escalated in the middle of the road."

Although the filmer mentioned several males were wielding knives, only one youth can be clearly seen brandishing a weapon.

Further footage shows the same knife-wielding youth escaping the scene by jumping onto the back of a bike being ridden by someone else.

According to reports, two 16-year-olds were left injured with one taken to hospital with a non-life threatening stab wound.

No arrests have been made. A Met Police spokesperson said: "Police were called at 17.01hrs on Tuesday, 23 September to reports of an altercation involving an knife in Acre Lane, Brixton.

"Two teenage boys, both aged 16, sustained injuries. One was taken to hospital with a stab wound, his condition was deemed not life-threatening or life-changing.

"The other suffered a minor injury and did not require further medical treatment.

"No arrests have been made and enquiries continue."
