Rival biker gangs fought a bloody battle with machetes in front of horrified passengers in the arrivals lounge of Birmingham airport.   A 50-year-old man is fighting for his life with a knife wound to the head following the violence at Birmingham International Airport’s Terminal 1 on Sunday.   Eye witnesses said a gang of 10 men and one woman waited in the lounge to attack three men getting off a flight from Alicante, Spain.   Metal bars and chains were also wielded as families with children scattered to safety. The attackers fled in vehicles  waiting outside the airport.   West Midlands Police said in a statement: ‘Three men, aged 43, 45 and 50, were injured during the incident and taken to hospital. The 50-year-old man remains in a critical but stable condition with head injuries after being struck across the head with an unknown weapon. The two other men were treated and discharged.   Eleven people were arrested, 10 men and one woman, they have all been bailed pending further enquiries.   The force said anyone who was at the terminal at around 9.30pm should call Solihull police station on 0845 113 5000 and ask for CID.

'ere, Rattler's a Scouse, not a Brummie! Me, I've got a foot in both camps, seeing as my grandad ran a pub in the old jewellery quarter of Brum.                                                                                                                                                                              

Nah, must've been race rep riders, wouldn't've had time to put the one piece leathers one! lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Being a born and bred Brummie and a blue nose to boot. May i just point out that it is scousers who have a reputation for liberatin other peoples property. They're now trying to disguise this by pretending they know a little bit about culture. Yea right!!    There is only one so called  biker gang in Brum as the angels left a long time ago. There are a few large clubs though. I have asked a couple of relevent peeps but all know nowt. Of course it doesn't mean any of these peeps came from around here. As this is a club night for some tonight i may know more tomorrow.                                                                                                                                                                             

They're now trying to disguise this by pretending they know a little bit about culture. Yea right!! As the Brummie end of the family keep on reminding me over and over again! Don't think BB would get on with 'em, though - Villa fans to a man.                                                                                                                                                                             

so whats the score here? Have we got any more info?  Sounds like a strange attack (bit retarded if 11 people can get caught too lol)                                                                                                                                                                             

Where's the info from? I can't find anything about it on the bbc news website.

Sounds quite serious   Reporter of the story refers to the Hells' Angells as a chapter, at least he might know what hes talking about.
