Woman caught on camera waving knife and yelling racist abuse at man on street

A knife-wielding woman threatened a man with a knife while screaming racial abuse at him in a Birmingham suburb.

The tense confrontation was captured on camera in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham after a disturbance between the pair broke out on Friday night.

The unknown woman could be heard racially abusing the Asian male while brandishing a large blade outside a terraced house.

The man then picks up a piece of cardboard and begins to strike her with it, before she then chases him down the street with the knife.

The two can be heard trading insults, calling each other fat, before the woman begins slashing at him with the blade in the middle of the residential street.

An onlooker arrives on the scene to try and intervene, telling the woman to put down the knife, while the man pulls the rucksack from his back.

He then proceeded to hit her multiple times with the bag before she stumbled into a nearby car, and the bystander managed to step in between the pair.

The footage has since gone viral online, with one user writing: ‘There’s no space for knife crime, no matter how young or old, male or female.

‘Find another solution because it will cause devastating effects, ones that would end up regretting.’

Another added: ‘No person should be waving a knife around like that and getting away with it.’

Metro has contacted the West Midlands Police for comment.

In London earlier this month, a party at a park ended with dozens of screams after an attacker began swinging a large knife at a woman.

Snapchat video captured the moment the hooded perpetrator whipped out the blade in Gladstone Park, north London.

The weapon was inches from slashing the terrified victim, as she backed away while others fled.

A man filming the attack can be heard screaming, ‘She backed out a shank, are you mad?’ meaning she brought out a knife.

Police arrived at 10 pm after the video went viral on social media, but they could not locate the alleged knife-wielder or weapon, the force told Metro.
