Footage has captured the moment a group of around 50 youths “carrying knives and glass bottles” stormed past a railway station.
Commuters were left horrified as the crowd of noisy yobs dressed in black and balaclavas ran through Railway Street in Chatham on Saturday (August 1).
One witness, who had been getting off a train coming from Strood, said she noticed the boys, believed to be no older than 16, as she approached the ticket barriers.
It is understood they had been trying to chase and attack a separate group of boys unprovoked who had been on her carriage and were leaving the station at the same time.
She said: “These other boys, they came from nowhere – there were about 40 to 50 of them.
“Some of them had knives. They all had balaclavas on and were all dressed in black.
“I didn't see it, but they did get hold of one of the other boys, and they stole his phone and smacked him in the face, and his nose was bleeding. He came back to the station.”
The mum described the incident as “disgusting”, saying she has “never seen anything like it”.
She says some of the yobs were carrying “small kitchen knives” as well as “broken glass bottles”.
The witness added: “When they ran past – I was standing outside with my granddaughter – and we heard all this noise, and they were throwing bottles which came into the station.
“I grabbed hold of her when they came running out because they were screaming and shouting and I heard a bottle go, and another one smashed just by the door.”
The witness says she understands the commotion was football-related and had overheard the group may have been at a pub beforehand.
Around 20 minutes later, Kent Police arrived following reports of a large group causing a disturbance. They were assisted by British Transport Police officers.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Officers attended and spoke to a teenager who reported being assaulted and having his phone stolen by the group, who were all wearing balaclavas and dark clothing.
“An investigation is underway to identify and locate the suspects.”
