Most of us retreat to our homes for peace and quiet. And if you are lucky you have good neighbours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was just absolute sheer hell, like it just looked like something out of a movie,” one resident said.<\/p>\n

In the confronting vision, fists fly as more than a dozen people including adults and children pile into the brawl, believed to be sparked by kids riding their bikes.<\/p>\n

One teenager emerges, armed with a bat, before being dragged to the ground, then beaten senseless.<\/p>\n

Kynan had been visiting friends when he got caught up in the mayhem.<\/p>\n

“Someone ran up behind me, and then started beating me down [with] the baseball bat into my back and then towards my head,” he said.<\/p>\n
