A knife fight between two boys on a south London bus was captured in shocking footage, as terrified passengers looked on.

The incident took place on the top deck of a bus in the Telford Avenue area of Streatham at around 4.40pm yesterday (February 3).

One boy is armed with a large ‘Rambo’ knife, while the other appears to be protecting himself with a metal pole.

The suspects, both wearing black puffer jackets, exchange swipes and jabs in the aisle, maintaining a distance, as their weapons clash.
