NYC Street Fight Features Man With Machete Vs. Dude With Garbage Can

New Yorkers are rarely surprised with what they see on the streets of Manhattan, but this story likely baffled even lifelong NYC residents.

An incredibly unusual street fight broke out on Broadway on Wednesday between a man with a machete and a dude brandishing a garbage can, and the footage is nothing short of enthralling.

From CBSNewYork:

New video shows a wild fight Wednesday morning on the Upper West Side.

The two-minute video, which was posted on Twitter, shows two men squaring off on the street.

One man was armed with a machete, while the other used a city garbage can as his weapon.

At one point, the machete-wielding man throws his blade at the other man, who in return hurls the trash can.

The two men eventually started trading blows and throwing bottles at each other.

Eventually, the man with the machete drove off in a car but then came back and was pulled over by police and taken into custody.

It is unclear what prompted the fight.

Just another Wednesday in the Big Apple…
