This is the shocking moment youths holding machetes fought outside a theme park in Southend. 

Six people have been arrested after the chaos erupted on the seafront and High Street of Southend-on-Sea on Tuesday evening. 

Footage posted on social media shows a group of hooded thugs fighting with huge machetes in close proximity to the park as police looked on at the chaos. 

Dozens of park visitors were filmed fleeing the scene on foot in a desperate bid to escape the knife-wielding youths. 

A dispersal order is now in place in the area, including in locations such as Marine Parade, Pier Hill, High Street, Western Esplanade and both the city’s train stations.

The order is in place from 4.20pm on Tuesday and will remain until 4pm on Wednesday.
