    I arrived home from work today ,3 men were arguing out side on the road. by the time i got upstairs to change, they were fighting on the ground. 2 men were pummeling the 3rd mans head on the road punching and kicking him,he took a beating for about 3 mins ,8 other blokes were watching.
    My wife told me to go help – i said no there are 8 men watching part of the 2 fighting the one? if i went i reckon i would of got a kicking off the now 10 men – What would you do. I did not know them and the man eventually walked /staggered away ? I was not willing to get into a huge fight with a gang ?

    I’m assuming you or your wife did dial 999, but forgot to include that in your OP?

    A few yrs ago i got out of the shower to hear yelling and screaming outside. Looked out of the window and saw a bloke holding a young bloke and forcing him backwards over our car, as i watched another lad came up behind the older bloke with a rounders bat..
    Several people yelling and screaming, I’m doing that dance where you frantically try to get in your jeans whilst wet etc.
    Ran downstairs, grabbed the nearest sword and burst out into the street – only to find they had all gone* and my new neighbours looking out of their window in shock at seeing me wielding a sword in the street!

    * I then found the bloke behind the car bleeding from a head wound, young girl with him. Wouldn’t let me call an ambulance and wandered off.
    A little while later one of the ‘yoofs’ came back and was searching under our car for something, snuck out quietly and put the point of the sword (blunt reenactment weapon) against his throat and told him I’d cut his head off if i ever saw him again.
    Been pretty quiet ever since it seems.

    Sorry, am I the only one who finds it a bit odd that people keep swords in their houses?

    Not odd owning swords if they’re into battle re-enactment, very odd that they think picking one up to join in someone else’s confrontation is a good idea. It would only take one neighbour to pick up the phone and there’d be an easy collar for the boys in blue.

    Can you not see his user name? He’s a dwarf for christs sake.

    His axe was probably upstairs.

    Yes Scott, but I still find it odd as the tried and trusted mace would be a far better weapon against close knit groups of multiple combatants, in your average suburban street.
    I live and learn I guess.

    I am a big wuss, but would have rang the police.

    ….or released the tame dwarf I keep in the shed, to go sort them out with his trusty sword.

    My hands are weapons and I have to register them with the police they are so dangerous 😆

    Yup would have rung 999 without a moments thought.

    😆 The battle axe lives in the garage with all the other polearms!
    Wasn’t the brightest thing to do in retrospect but i thought our car was going to get smashed up.
    My next door neighbour saw my friend (who i bought the house from) outside the school gates the next day.. “Er, your friend, is he quite safe?” 😳

    Now there’s a statement not everyone can make……

    OP, the first rule of first aid is dont become a casualty yourself. Wading into 10 blokes isn’t brave. It’s stupid. Stop fighting with your conscience.

    Is that a euphemism?

    That sounds fairly serious!

    When I peered out into the car park and saw a bunch of lads rummaging through a car, I found charging into the street half naked and wielding a pair of Henry Hoover half-tubes while screaming bloody murder worked a treat. One of them stumbled ’round on the spot in true Scooby-Doo fashion before pegging it 😆

    In truth if they’d turned on me I would have got a kicking, but clearly the entrance was special enough.

    So – did the Police get called?

    It would only take one neighbour to pick up the phone and there’d be an easy collar for the boys in blue.

    I have a broom that the handle falls off of Hong Kong Phooey style – “What, this, officer? I just grabbed a broom to brandish at the scallywags, and the head happened to fall off.”

    Staffs are much better in close quarters than a sword – two ends to play with.

    I would be impressed by the fighter on here who could take out 10

    Me I’d called 999 and possibly recorded it on pone of those fancy new smartphones people have with cameras on. Not to post on Facebook but for the Police to help trace them.

    My staff’s only got one end and I seem to have a lot of fun with it…….

    They may have swords, but I’m not sure either of these would do much to stop a bunch of scrotes from knocking seven bells out of each other:

    Ooh LARP’ers, the people that make reenactors look good!

    We aren’t allowed anywhere near a competitive event til we’ve passed various efficiency and safety tests, LARP’ers play with rubber toys and think they are Conan 😀

    Mate of mine (mad German bloke) competes at internationally level at full contact jousting – that is insane.

    Ring the police, they come mob handed and dont usually get prosecuted for hitting people as its self defence, normal plebs do.

    “Cool club officer”
    “It’s not a club, son. It’s a baton
    “What do you do with it?”
    “We club people”

    No way would I intervene in a fight involving ten people, or whatever the amount in the OP was.

    Obviously call the Police though, which I presume you did. Contrary to what some people think they take this stuff very seriously in my experience.

    Am I the only one who always feels slightly sorry for people who get lambasted for standing by and doing nothing?

    Ten people or three people, I can’t honestly say I’m sure I’d be keen to start getting involved in random brawls in the street if I saw one.
