Shocking moment vile thugs armed with MACHETE and axe slash at boy in horrific attack – before calmly walking away

THIS is the shocking moment three vile thugs – one armed with a machete – attacked a boy.

The footage shows the tracksuit-wearing gang then calmly walking away with the victim left on the floor.

He suffered stab wounds before being rushed to a major trauma centre.

Cops are investigating but are yet to make any arrests, with the horror incident filmed on an onlooker's phone.

In the video, one of the thugs is carrying a huge knife as well as what appears to be an axe.

Another youth holds onto the victim as the first swings the blade towards him, and he's then swung to the floor.

The knife-wielding thug appears to slash at him while he's down, and the other two also strike him with their hands and feet.

They all pull up their hoods and walk away calmly, with the the armed thug tucking the machete into his belt and carrying the axe in his hand.

The violent attack happened in Pennyfields Park, Poplar, East London, on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by NeedToKnow.

One local said: “This country is finished. These primitive behaviours have become a norm. Disgusting.”
