FEARS are growing more gang violence could erupt between rival Scots traveller families after a chilling video emerged of one side threatening to fight the other.
The alarming clip was shared on TikTok and shows a baying mob of masked men, clad in hi-vis balaclavas yelling obscenities whilst their ‘leader’ talks to the camera.
Seemingly addressing a rival family, the burly ringleader screams with rage at the camera: “You get yourself out today and you’ll have fight today, you’ll have fight today.
“My men and my family’s here, two o’clock let’s f***ing go,” before the mob behind him cheer, clap and punch fists in the air.
A smaller man then comes to the front of the gang and begins to address the camera saying:
“Every single one of you, bring your gang and we’ll get it on. Any way you want it. We’re the number one, always the best. We’re Scotland’s number one.”
The shocking clip comes just days after horrifying footage emerged of a gang of men, wearing the same balaclavas, smashing up cars with shovels and golf clubs.
The violence erupted on a beachfront street in Stevenston, Ayrshire on broad daylight on Sunday afternoon.
Footage showed feuding gangs battering each other with golf clubs, metal poles and even a road sign being brandished as a make-shift weapon.
The terrifying scenes were recorded by an insider and show masked men driving at speed in a large white van, towards a traveller encampment armed with weapons.
One of the men can be heard shouting “Out now” before the side door of the white van opens and a number of men in hi-vis balaclavas jump out and start smashing up vehicles with shovels and poles.
Terrified women can be heard screaming in the background while the camera quickly pans past one person laying on the ground apparently injured.
In another awful scene two men smash up a car while a man cowers inside.
After smashing up a number of vehicles, the gang heads back to the van and the video abruptly ends.
The horrifying footage has been widely shared on social media and cops have confirmed they have launched a probe into an incident which occurred at 2:10pm on Sunday, March 9 in Trelawney Terrace in Stevenston.
Cops are also probing a second incident at Morrisons Supermarket carpark which left three people, including two teenagers, in hospital after sustaining serious injuries.
Dozens of cops and ambulance crews swooped on Morrisons in Kilwinning Road in Stevenston after reports of a violent brawl.
A 20-year-old man and two male teenagers, aged 17 and 15, who were rushed to hospital.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are aware of the video circulating online and enquiries are ongoing.”
