Knife thugs armed with huge machetes brawl at Notting Hill carnival

Shocking photographs show Notting Hill Carnival revellers armed with huge machetes in the street in front of crowds of people in broad daylight.

One image shows a young man appearing to approach a group of men while waving a large weapon in the air, as many stand back and watch.

The photographer said he found himself 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' and claimed the 'joyful atmosphere turned unexpectedly as an altercation broke out nearby, between two gangs with knives and a machete'.
