The Guardian

A brawl between 40 men using knives, bottles and a sword has been broken up by police in west London.

Police initially reported that two swords had been used in the fight in Southall in the early hours of Sunday, but later corrected this to “at least one sword”.

At 8pm on Sunday, police released a statement saying that they had been called at “around 0200hrs to a large group of males fighting with knives and at least one sword in the area of King Street, Southall”.

Two men in their 20s were arrested and remain in police custody, according to the statement.

Despite the diverse and unusual weapons used, police said: “There are no reported injuries.”

The police have asked anyone with information about those involved to come forward.

The initial tweet about the fight described the two men being, “chased into St Johns Road and identified as having carried swords during the fight. They were arrested for violent disorder and affray”.
