Your support makes all the difference.Shocking video has emerged showing teenage boys brawling with teenage girls outside a KFC restaurant in Croydon.
The incident took place on the busy London Road in Croydon on Saturday afternoon.
Two boys are seen attacking one girl before her friend attempts to intervene with the fight nearly spilling into the restaurant.
The girl who was initially attacked then spears one of the boy’s to the ground which leads to the pair wrestling each other on the street.
Several people then attempt to break up the brawl and after some commotion, the two groups are separated.
Once divided, one of the girls repeatedly shouts “you dissed my mum”.
A video of the incident was shared on YouTube last weekend. It had been watched more than 25,000 times by Tuesday.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police has confirmed it is investigating the fight.
