THIS is the terrifying moment knife-wielding thugs chase a 17-year-old boy in broad daylight in Lawless Britain.

Horrifying photos show a hooded man on the back of a red moped wielding a massive blade as he and the driver chase their victim through a busy city centre.

Incredibly, the boy was unhurt after the horror rampage through Arnold, Notts., at around 3.30pm on Wednesday.

Notts Police today released pictures of the thugs in a bid to locate the criminals.

Detective Inspector Kim Binns said: "We cannot accept people riding round a main high street in broad daylight brandishing a knife.

"Clearly this behaviour is appalling and I am asking for people's assistance in identifying those involved.

"The men in the image were wearing Hallowe'en-style face masks. I would ask people to look instead at their distinctive clothing and see if they recognise who they are."

The man in the moped is white and and wore a grey, black and white combat-style Nike matching sports top and trousers and a rucksack with white straps.

The pillion rider, who waves a blade, was a black man wearing a black Parka-style coat with a fur-lined hood.

Det Insp Binns added: "If you think you recognise them, the bike involved or know the location of the bike, please get in touch.

"We are really keen to get their names as soon as possible so we get them in custody.
"We are making a number of enquiries, including CCTV, and officers are speaking to people as they carry out increased patrols in the area."
