Plank wars! Men batter each other with pieces of wood in bizarre duel on a London street

  • Two men fought with planks as if they were lightsabers in a bizarre street duel
  • It was filmed by a commentating onlooker across the road in Hayes, London 
  • People who watched the video online all commented it looked like Star Wars 

This is the moment two men laid into each other brandishing long planks of wood like swords. 

Viewers of the video likened the two men duelling in Hayes, London, to a Star Wars lightsaber battle after a shocked onlooker filmed it. 

The video starts with a man in a black jacket hitting two other men with a large plank of wood. 

Before the two men fight in Hayes, west London, the man in the white shirt seems to try to stop anything from escalating at he grabs the plank from the original attacker and points him away from them

The onlooker, filming from across the road, shouts: ‘Brother, come on!’

One of the men points the attacker away from them apparently trying to stop the incident from escalating. 

But the other man, in a beige shirt, pulls another large plank of wood out of his car boot and charges at the original attacker. 

‘Let him have it,’ viewers hear from the cameraman. 

Both men joust for some time before both planks break before the man in a beige shirt picks up one half of the thickest plank and they continue fighting.

Suddenly the man in the black jacket is weaponless as he is grabbed by the scruff of his neck by the man in the beige shirt who has managed to keep hold of his plank. 

People who watched the video instantly recognised how similar the fight looked to Star Wars duels.
