Mobs of thugs battled it out during a mass running brawl in a quiet rural village. More than 30 youths were filmed sprinting towards each other while armed with metal poles and wooden bats as they fought on a residential street in Carcroft, Doncaster. Shocked locals watched on as the furious gangs punched and kicked each other during the chaos, before marching off down the street. It is believed that the violence erupted, just after 3pm yesterday, after tensions between gangs of youths from rival villages bubbled over. One man posted on Facebook that he was injured while trying to protect his wife from the melee. He posted: 'My window and door got broke and I got hit over the back trying to get my missus out the way.' Since the video of the brawl was posted on Facebook it has been viewed over 40,000 times with many villagers condemning the violence. One resident wrote: 'What a joke the lot of them! Carcroft never used to be like this! I think they've all got far too much time on their hands.' While another posted: 'Absolutely pathetic. I'm sure half of the parents of these kids are going to be mortified seeing this... and those that aren't should be ashamed.'
