Truth

Upon doing a Google Reverse Image Search of the screenshots acquired from the video, we came across an article by Daily Mail, the headline read, “‘Barbaric’ street brawl in Birmingham came after a week of bad blood between neighbouring families following ‘wedding bust-up’…as new footage shows thugs wielded hammers and metal poles”. The article was uploaded on 17th August, 2019.

 

 

Reportedly, a fight broke down between two families over a ‘wedding argument’.
