Terrifying video footage has shown the moment a gang of “knife<\/a> wielding youths” threatened to stab a group of people in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n The shocking incident took place in broad daylight at a bus stop on St Patrick Square<\/a> on Saturday, July 12. In the footage, one male youth was filmed squaring up to an older man on the street.<\/p>\n As the man and woman filming the scene got closer, the youngster – who was covering his face – held up his middle finger before pulling out what is understood to have been a knife<\/a>.<\/p>\n He can be heard shouting in the clip, which was shared with our sister title, Edinburgh Live<\/a>: “What are you saying mate? Have you got a f*****g problem?””<\/p>\n As the man was apparently unfazed by his threats, the youth was then heard telling them: “I’ll stab <\/a>both of you.”<\/p>\n A second balaclava-clad kid wearing a black cap was then filmed <\/a>running towards the group before attempting to grab the phone from the woman’s hands as she filmed the sickening scene on her phone.<\/p>\n He then went to rummage his pockets before backing off while the group refused to be intimidated<\/a>.<\/p>\n The two males then continued to walk <\/a>towards the group as the woman threatened to call the police.<\/p>\n A member of the group then ran towards one of the youths while shouting “f**k off.”<\/p>\n A blade <\/a>is then pulled out by the youngster in retaliation before both of them turn around and walk off.<\/p>\n Members of the public <\/a>were spotted watching on as the terrifying incident unfolded.<\/p>\n![\"One](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752672555_254_0_CapturePNG.png\")
