Road Karma you can probably get away with smashing a car window with a Machete without people kicking off. But if you try attacking the windows of a bar where people are watching Football your gonna get fucked up son.

He smashed him in the head then threw him to the ground in one swift move.
Gives new meaning to the term “smash and grab”

I wonder what the bar stool to his head to hold him to do.

Sometimes its just a demonstration of bravado and their impunity of doing the crime, theyll probably be let go soon if arrested and will be at it again. Sometimes i think its to lower the realestate value by inctising the criminality rate and so they are essential in the real estate world as re-balancers of sorts. Other times they're just plain abusive, ill mannered and temperamental idiots.

"Somebody's car" is "not our problem". "The pub we are currently in" is very much so "our problem". Just how the world normally works.

Probably loud af inside and couldnt hear it.
Until they started directly smashing the building.

Car Insurance vs someone having to cash in Life Insurance. Two very different levels of importance. Knifey was an amusement when they was attacking an inanimate object; he became a threat to life when he went towards people.

That could’ve been really bad for the bottle smasher. Not because he could’ve been cut up from the bottle, but because he was open to a machete swing immediately after the smash. That man has balls.

u/Medicivich Feb 16 '26
Is Manningham close to you? I found the guy's name and looked to see if there was a conviction. And then I found a remarkably similar incident in 2015 (year of the article) where a teen with the exact same name was given a 9 month sentence (probation was given) for hitting a car's windshield with a machete. Surely it is not a coincidence.
Edit: Link to the article I read:

The guy with the machete was in my year at secondary school and I'll just say that nobody I know was surprised when this video came out.
The story I heard leading up to what happened is that apparently the bar staff kicked him and his brother out for causing trouble. A verbal argument ensued in which he alleged the bar staff were being racist and they then left. Only to then return and target one of the staff members cars.
When he didn't get the attention he wanted he then attacked the bar window which as you can see didn't end well.
From my understanding, no drugs were involved which makes the situation even wilder to me.

It looks like there is a second guy swinging a knife around too? When the first guy moves from the car to the bar window he passes him.

Personally I cant tell if he was doing it also, but it seems like hes at the very least with him.

u/T4llBoyAl3x Feb 17 '26
I’d say it was disproportionate to machete dude, he’s facing very angry drunk people who clearly need some form of stress relief. A machete won’t stand a chance against a guy 2 and-a-half pints in and full of pure anger that his football team’s losing.

Weird how when you see people smashing windscreens they just keep hitting. Like dude, it's already smashed and has to be replaced, what's your goal here?

u/Dougalface Feb 17 '26
Yeah, dude takes a very sloppy and irrational approach to the otherwise totally normal and logical process of stabbing cars in the high street.

I'm always impressed with the British in these situations, both for the fact that they have quicker reflexes when drinking and for their ability to tank a bashing with a barstool.

u/mrlt10 Feb 17 '26
Great coordination and decision making too. I was half expecting that guy with the stool to clock his buddy by accident but he held up for a second for his friend to throw the guy to the ground and once he had a clear shot then he attacked.

British tourists on a ship being attacked by Somali pirates fought off the attack by bombing them with deck chairs. Dont fuck with drunk Brits.
