A terrifying sword fight broke out in Glasgow as mobsters were filmed hacking into one another with huge blades.
The gut-wrenching duel involving five hoodlums is understood to have taken place in the city’s Priesthill on Friday afternoon, April 11. Chilling footage shared with the Record shows the violence erupting in full view of homes in the south of the city as four males chased one another with what is believed to be machetes.
In the clip, two gangs can be seen confronting one another on the street before a car rapidly reverses around a corner. Two males are then filmed chasing another pair as the blades are furiously flung in the air causing a number of near-misses.
During the chaos, one of the mobsters falls to the ground. As he crashes to the floor, one of the knife-wielding thugs can be seen charging towards him.

The male then jumps to his feet before fleeing and ultimately falling again.
This time, an assailant manages to catch him and strikes the blade into the side of his body as he lay on the ground.
An ally quickly moves in and jumps on top of the attacker, bringing a brief halt to the violence.
But as the group splits, the assailant is filmed again chasing two opposing males with the sizable blade before being pursued by another male, who was also weilding a knife.

He then crashes to the ground before suffering a number of blows to his body.
Eventually, two males end up scuffling on the road before one flees the estate.
As he flees, he is pursued by another male in possession of a knife. A brief duel then takes place before one of the participants runs away again.
As the violence ends, another male can be seen standing in the middle of the street holding the blade up in the air.
Another clip shows the area taped off by police moments later.
It is currently unknown if there were any injuries.
