Chaotic scenes unfolded at Worthing railway station in West Sussex on Sunday after three young men attacked each other with knives. The disturbing footage of the incident has appeared on social media and has gone viral. It was recorded by a passenger from inside a train carriage and shows two men attacking the third individual. One of those men wielded a machete-style blade; the men lunged and slashed at each other on the platform while the passengers looked at them in horror.
Police closed the station and launched a manhunt for the three men. They have also urged witnesses to come forward with information.
It is unclear if any of the men were injured in the incident. “Officers conducted a thorough search of the area with Sussex Police colleagues, however no one was found. The police were called at 6.30 pm (local time) and the three brawling men had fled by that time, the outlet further said.
British Transport Police later closed the station and searched for the three men, according to Sussex News . Enquiries are ongoing,” a British Transport Police spokesperson said. “Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that could help officers and has yet to speak to police should text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 543 of 11 October,” a police release said.
