Moment horror street brawl breaks out before driver runs over cyclist
The Met Police force has confirmed an arrest was made after a shocking incident on London's streets at around 11.30am today where a mass brawl broke out in Islington
Police made an arrest after a brutal street fight on the streets of London earlier today which was caught on video by a horrified onlooker. The footage starts with a man armed with a baseball bat approaching another man who suddenly charged him as he swung his fists, making him drop the brutal weapon with a loud clang and quickly scamper backwards.
The video then cut to the man who charged the other thug sitting on a bike attempting to escape. Before he can get away however he was run down by a black BMW, before getting to his knee before the footage stopped.
Some claimed the man who charged was holding a large knife, although it is not clear in the video which was uploaded and widely shared on X. It is unknown if anyone was injured in the shocking scenes in Islington, north London.
The person who shot the footage can be heard saying: 'It's crazy.'
A spokesperson for the Met Police said: "We were called at 11:37hrs on Saturday, 24 May to reports of a group of people fighting in Holloway Road, N19.
'Met officers responded and arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon. He remains in custody and there were no reports of any injuries.
"Our investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 3012/24May."
Camden Police added: 'We were called at 11:37hrs today to reports of a group of people fighting in Holloway Road, N19.
'Officers responded and arrested a 38-year-old man in connection with the incident. There were no reports of injuries.'
Earlier this year two men were seen having a fight on a packed bus on a busy high street as shocked passengers watched on. The pair were seen grappling with each other near the door.
One swung at his rival before he threw a punch back. The duo then continued to wrestle on the ground.
One customer could be seen trying to board the Number 222 service. Another filmed the ugly scenes on their mobile phone. It is unknown what triggered the fight.
The shocking incident happened on Monday March 10 as the bus headed to High Street, Uxbridge, west London. Some locals were shocked, but others didn't seem surprised by the brawl.
Vik Singh said: 'Madness.' Another added: 'Nothing to see here, just a normal day in London.' A third said: 'This country is going to s*ite.'

He was released on bail following his initial arrest but was caught delivering cannabis again almost a year later. Shakr Hamad, 30, was stopped by police driving a Ford Focus in Cardiff on April 10 last year after they could smell cannabis emanating from his car. He also appeared to be under the influence and tested positive for cannabis. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday heard a carrier bag was found and when searched it was found to contain eight zip lock bags containing cannabis, worth up to £400 in total. For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter. Also found in the car was £440 in cash and an iPhone which revealed the defendant had been sent a number of postcodes in quick succession. Prosecutor Sol Hartley said Hamad was working as a drugs runner for an organised crime group who was directed to deliver cannabis to various addresses in Cardiff. The defendant was released on bail but on March 15 this year he was stopped by police in Llansannor Way, Butetown, after he was seen interacting with a man from inside his BMW. Article continues below The vehicle was searched and a black rucksack was found to contain 30 snap bags of cannabis worth up to £1,700, £525 in cash and a knuckleduster. His phone was seized and Hamad was found to be a member of a Whats App group with several other people who were working as drugs runners. During his police interview, the defendant became agitated and began punching himself in the head. Hamad, of Rhymney Street, Cathays, later pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class B drugs, possession of criminal property, possession of an offensive weapon and driving whilst disqualified. The court heard he has one previous conviction for motoring offences, for which he was disqualified from driving. In mitigation, Harry Baker said his client had made an asylum application to remain in the UK, which had been unsuccessful, but he has since made another application. Article continues below Judge Paul Hobson sentenced Hamad to 18 months imprisonment and disqualified him from driving for 18 months. The judge told the defendant steps may be taken to deport him, but this decision would be made by the Home Office.
