This is the shocking moment a fight broke out in a south London chicken shop minutes before a 17-year-old was stabbed in the street during a “frenzied” attack.

The footage, captured on Monday, shows a youth hurling punches inside the crowded Tennessee Chicken Shop on Brixton Road near Oval Tube station.

At one point, he leaves the venue before coming back seconds later and throwing more punches.

The incident on Monday came just before a teenager was stabbed near the junction of Camberwell New Road and Brixton Road. He has since been discharged form hospital.
