Bloke wrestles knife from thug’s hands in brawl on ‘Britain’s roughest street’

A bloke was seen disarming a knife-wielding thug after being stabbed in a dramatic video taken on 'Britain's roughest street'.

The two men were filmed struggling on the ground while a huge blade can be seen being waved around in the air on Slade Road, in Erdington, Birmingham.

The braw took place on a busy street which has previously been declared the "roughest street in Britain" for its reputation for violence, theft and £5 prostitutes.

However, no one attempted to help as pedestrians simply watched on and cars drive past as the terrifying scenes unfold.

One of the men manages to disarm the other as an onlooker shouted: "He's stabbing him up, he just took that knife about ten times you know."

A female witness was heard repeatedly begging someone "call the police" in the background as the pair struggled on the pavement.

But the fight came to an abrupt end when one of the men gets up and walked away as though nothing had happened.

West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed one male victim suffered "serious injuries" following the altercation on the evening of July 18.

A service spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of a stabbing at the junction of Kings Road and Slade Road at 7.50pm on Tuesday.
