Dramatic footage shows the moment a man managed to disarm a knife-wielding thug after being stabbed in the middle of a busy city street. <br /><br />The pair can be seen wrestling on the ground along Slade Road, in Erdington, Birmingham - which previously made headlines for being "Britain's roughest street".<br /><br />Shockingly, nobody does anything to help as pedestrians simply watch on and cars drive past as the terrifying scenes unfold.<br /><br />The footage begins with the two men struggling on the ground while a huge blade can be seen being brandished and waved around in the air.<br /><br />One of the men manages to disarm the other while an onlooker can be heard saying: "He's stabbing him up, he just took that knife about ten times you know."<br /><br />A female witness then repeatedly shouts "call the police" until the fight comes to an abrupt end when one of the men gets up and casually walks away. <br /><br />West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed one male victim suffered "serious injuries" following the altercation last Tuesday evening (18/7).<br /><br />A service spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of a stabbing at the junction of Kings Road and Slade Road at 7.50pm on Tuesday. <br /><br />"One ambulance, a paramedic officer and a MERIT trauma doctor attended the scene. <br /><br />"On arrival we discovered one patient, a man, who was treated for serious injuries before being taken to hospital."<br /><br />A West Midlands Police spokesperson added: "We're investigating after a man was stabbed near Slade Road, Erdington, at around 7.40pm on Tuesday (18 July).<br /><br />"A man was taken to hospital with injuries which were not life-threatening. We're carrying out enquiries in the area.<br /><br />"We're aware of a video which was shared on social media at the weekend, and we would ask anyone with information to contact us to assist our investigation.<br /><br />"Contact us via Live Chat on our website, or by calling 101, and quote crime reference number 20/624953/23."<br /><br />The disturbing footage has since been viewed more than 11,000 times after being uploaded by the Birmz Is Grime blog.<br /><br />One web user asked: "Am I the only person who would have got out their car and helped? What is going on with humanity??"<br /><br />Another commented: "I liturally [sic] can not believe others stood there watching instead helping."<br /><br />A third added: "Imagine standing there and potentially filming someone get murdered."<br /><br />Another wrote: "And everyone is watching as if it is a normal daily routine!! What is happening to humanity."
