Video: Shocking footage shows machete fight taking place near Villa Park in Birmingham

The pair of thugs were filmed lunging at each other with huge blades outside a fried chicken shop on Witton Road, in Aston, Birmingham.

At one point one of the men narrowly avoids being stabbed by jumping out of the way as the machete is thrust towards him. The chilling scenes were captured at around 9.30pm on Sunday (16/3) near to Aston Villa's Villa Park stadium.
