Those involved fled the scene as officers arrived and a variety of weapons were found abandoned on the street.

One witness said he understood two men were later found with stab wounds at a service station in Blyth, and were taken to hospital, but police have not confirmed details of any injuries.

He said there was a large amount of blood on the street this morning, where a Samurai sword, a meat cleaver and a machete were among the weapons which lay scattered on the ground. He added there was also a bag which he was later told was full of knives.

“There must have been 10 to 12 cars damaged on the street. I don’t know how many people were involved but I saw four blokes jumping into a black car before it sped off,” he said.

"I spoke to neighbours who said they saw someone carrying somebody and throwing them into the boot of a car before it was driven off.”
