ARCHIVED - Broad daylight fight with Japanese swords in Tenerife
A shocking video captures the minute the brawl broke out in San Cristobal de la Laguna, Tenerife
Residents of the Los Andenes neighbourhood in San Cristobal de La Laguna, Tenerife, were left astonished when a violent skirmish broke out in broad daylight between a group of men brandishing deadly weapons.
Video footage shows one man jumping out of a stationary car swinging a large bat. Towards him ran a second perpetrator, incredibly wielding a lethal katana – a kind of Japanese sword with a curved blade. While several people tried to intervene and grab the weapons, the man with the bat fled around the corner when he spotted the sword, quickly pursued by his rival.
The reasons behind the altercation are not yet known.
