Police are investigating a mass brawl in a Birmingham street involving around 30 people.

The footage taken by a bystander shows items being thrown across the street as the fight takes place.

A car rams a parked vehicle before speeding through the road packed with people fighting.

Gangs of men can be seen in the middle of the street as a mass brawl rages.

Some are carrying large pieces of wood and they dash in the middle of the road after being pelted with objects where they grapple with members of another gang.

Witnesses told the Mail that the punch up went on for about ten minutes as two groups of men, numbering about 30 in total, battled each other.

It ended with one group getting into cars and racing off.

Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward and said when they arrived at the scene they found two injured men - neither of whom wanted to go to hospital.

Abdul Aziz from Abdul’s Kebab shop in Regent Road, Handsworth said: “It was incredible scenes really. We have had some problems in the area in recent times with crime but I’ve never seen anything like this before.

“People were hitting each other with big bits of wood, and there were people with blood pouring from wounds on their heads.

“It’s certainly not what you want to happen around here!”

The huge fight echoes a similar incident caught on camera last month when thugs wielding machetes and baseball bats fought in Wenlock Road at the junction of The Broadway in Aston.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said the incident happened between 1.15pm and 1.30pm on November 29 in Regent Road, Handsworth.

He said: “Police are appealing for information after they were called to reports of a disorder involving a large group of men.

“One man sustained injuries to his foot after a car ran over it and a second man had a cut to his head after being hit by a stick. Neither man wanted to go to hospital.
