This is the terrifying moment a hooded knifeman casually walks down the street while brandishing a machete near a primary school.
The individual was spotted by a passing motorist strolling along Benson Road in Handsworth, Birmingham, this week while clutching the sinister-looking blade.
The video – filmed as the man walked past Benson Community School – shows a car passenger shouting: ‘Yo bad man, put the knife away. Oi, you fool.’
Unfazed, the knifeman fails to respond to the shouts. A second clip then shows him continuing to walk up the street holding the 10 inch weapon.
The footage has been branded ‘terrifying’ after being obtained by the Birmz Is Grime blog and uploaded to social media, where it has been viewed thousands of times.

One web user commented: ‘This is so brazen as he knows there’s no proper punishment.’
Another added: ‘Wow WTF’, while a third said: ‘Should have called 999 straight away.’
One person put: ‘Like he doesn’t have a care in the world, this is terrifying and so close to a school.’
Another said: ‘Apparently there’s no ‘no go’ areas in Britain.’
West Midlands Police has been approached for comment.
