Two gangs from Edinburgh appeared to use various weapons including batons and knives
Locals shouted ‘this is a medieval fight’ during a horrific knife brawl in a supermarket car park. Video footage at The Jewel Asda car park showed two Edinburgh gangs fighting with various weapons, including knives and batons.
The terrifying clip has been shared online over the last 24 hours however the exact time of the incident is unknown. In the footage, two males can be seen duelling where one is seen holding what appears to be a black baton.
Edinburgh Live reports his rival seems to be holding a bladed weapon in his hand. Another man in grey can be seen jumping around behind the male brandishing a blade, it was also reported the youths wore face coverings.
Several slashes and swings of the baton are exchanged before three other males appear in the shot. One individual, who is seen in a hooded top with grey colouring on the shoulders, appears to be carrying a weapon with a long blade.
He is visibly swinging the lethal weapon at a male in dark clothing. A chase then begins with the the gangs seen running through the supermarket car park.
Onlookers gasped ‘he’s been slashed’ as one fleeing male is seen to be struck after he is seen tripping on a petrol pump. Another eyewitness can be heard saying: “He’s got a big kitchen knife. Holy s**t. No, this is a medieval fight.”
One local, 49, said: “All of a sudden it just erupted. I don’t know if it was rival gangs or what but it’s not what you expect in broad daylight at the local supermarket.
“It looked like they all had weapons, knives, huge blades and I think one had a bat. They were wildly slashing at each other as shoppers wandered by – it’s terrifying really.”
The video ends with members of one gang fleeing the scene. Police Scotland have been approached for comment.
