Teenagers charged after supermarket car park knife brawl

Two teenagers have been arrested and charged after police were called to reports of men brandishing knives at each other in a supermarket car park in Edinburgh.

Officers were called to reports of a disturbance near Asda in The Jewel area at about 16:20 on Wednesday. Specialist firearms officers attended the scene.

Two males aged 17 and 18 have been arrested and charged with assault to endangerment of life, breach of the peace and weapons offences.

There were no reports of any injuries.

Footage, shared by the Scottish Sun, shows a group of about six masked men fighting each other. One is holding a large knife, while another appears to be holding a machete.

Ch Insp Alison Macdonald said: "We are treating this as a targeted attack and extensive inquiries are continuing to trace others involved.

"This type of violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Officers are committed to tackling crime and antisocial behaviour in the local community.

"Targeted patrols will continue to deter and detect any criminality.

Asda has been approached for comment.
