A YOUTUBER encountered a tense confrontation when accosted by a gang of youths during his visit to the West Midlands.
Boxer Billy Moore documented the troubling incident on Friday, April 18, in Coventry.
Moore shared a 25-minute video on YouTube where an unidentified man recounted being attacked near the Coventry Transport Museum.
Defending the victim, Moore captured footage of one gang member aggressively stating: ‘You got your camera in there, but I do not give a f***!
The situation escalated into a physical altercation, with punches thrown as Moore urged the group to ‘leave it’. The altercation continued as Moore filmed and was encircled by the group, one of whom confrontationally questioned: “What are you trying to do with your camera?”
Following the melee at the Coventry Transport Museum, Moore expressed gratitude to those who supported him despite being outnumbered.
