Shocking footage shared with MyLondon shows a huge brawl taking place between around a dozen armed men near West Croydon station.

The video, filmed on London Road just north of the station, shows baseball bats and what appear to be knives, machetes and even swords being used in the ugly fight.

The incident occurred in broad daylight near one of the two main train stations in Croydon town centre.

A significant crowd of people can also be seen watching the fight which spills from the pavement into the road and causes traffic to be brought to a standstill.

The men can be heard shouting in English as well as other languages and some are even seen walking off appearing to be injured.

It is not yet known if anyone was seriously hurt in the mass brawl, but the footage shows men swinging the metal baseball bats with force and clashing with one another.

As stunned commuters and residents watch on, one man can be seen at the edge of the fight with what appears to be a black metal sword, watching on as the others fight.

Although shaky, the video footage, which was originally posted on social media app Snapchat, appears to show a clash between two men initially, both of whom are carrying baseball bats and swinging them wildly.

One of the men appears to retreat before being chased not just by his opponent but the other men gathered around them on the pavement.

The pavement is strewn with what appear to be cardboard boxes used for transporting vegetables.

Another angle shows that multiple separate fights appear to be taking place with men being thrown around the pavement and into shop windows and shutters.

Some of the men are then seen to launch items several metres down the high street, although it cannot be seen clearly what is being thrown.

A spokesperson for the Met Police said: "Police were called to London Road, Croydon, shortly after 7.02pm on Tuesday, September 3 to reports of 20 men fighting with weapons.

"Officers attended. The group had left the scene. One knife was recovered.

"There were no reported injuries.

"Enquiries continue."
