A confrontation in Manhattan took a violent turn when a driver pulled a machete on a pedestrian with whom he was fighting.
The encounter included blood, trashcans, and shouting on the upper West Side on the corner of Broadway and West 94th street.
A video was captured by Paul Tena showing the brawl as it escalated:

The driver of the car, wearing a white T-shirt, swings the machete at another man wielding a dustbin. The machete flies from the man’s hand forcing him to retreat to his car.
Punches are thrown and what looks like blood is spilt on the white T-shirt before both parties go about their business.
