Police and emergency crews descended on Brixton's high street following reports of an assault and found a man suffering from stab wounds
The witness said: 'A convoy of cars and quad bikes suddenly turned on one another, leading to one man being stabbed and others involved in a fist fight before running off on foot and by vehicle.
'The front of the convoy was a black Range Rover, which had a driver that wore a balaclava, and men sitting in the boot of the car, with the boot door open. There was also a red Ferrari and lime green Lamborghini, as well as two quad bikes. One of the quads ended up beached on the pavement.
'The man who was stabbed was lying in the middle of the road, with an ambulance on scene instantly, where the man was receiving CPR right away but looked lifeless. Another man who was wearing a balaclava and ski goggles, accompanied by a woman, ran to the victim screaming.'
A security guard, who works at a store near where the stabbing took place, said: 'One of our customers said the victim had been shooting a music video with two Lamborghini sports cars involved, but people saw it and got jealous.
'They were just young teenagers making a video and then some kids of similar age attacked them. It was a music video about Brixton which mentions the market so that's why they had decided to shoot it here.'
