Machetes in Birmingham UK!

[Metro.UK] Cinema on lockdown after ‘gang with machetes brawl and assault police officers’

A number of police officers have been assaulted after a large brawl broke out at a cinema in Birmingham.

Armed police were deployed after reports of people with machetes at Star City, in the Nechells area of the city, shortly after 5.30pm on Saturday.

They found a group of more than 100 people there, and said ‘pockets of fighting’ had broken out.

The cinema was packed as children queued up to see Frozen 2.

West Midlands Police confirmed that several arrests had been made and said a dispersal order had been put in place, meaning officers can arrest anyone who refuses to leave when asked.

Rival gangs were reported to be fighting in a screening of ‘Blue Story’ in the Vue complex.
The Daily Mail adds:
A second cinema chain has banned Blue Story from all its cinemas after a mass brawl in Birmingham last night - as the director defends his BBC-funded movie as 'about love not violence.'

Showcase Cinemas has followed Vue by axing screenings of the gangster film.

Five teenagers, including a 13-year-old girl, have been arrested by police after they swooped at around 5.30pm. They also seized two machetes and a knife from a nearby roundabout.

A senior police chief said today the disorder 'may be the worst thing' the responding officers had seen.

Blue Story director Andrew Onwubolu, known as Rapman, has said the gang film is about 'love not violence', after seven police officers were injured in a disturbance at a screening.
