"A 'barbaric' street brawl between 'two feuding families' erupted after a week of bad blood sparked by a 'wedding argument'.
Savage punches were thrown and an elderly man put a youngster in a headlock in shocking footage from the daytime incident in Aston, Birmingham.
But fresh footage now shows young thugs were also armed with hammers, huge metal poles and baseball bats as they joined the 30-man melee on Prestbury Road at 5.30pm on Thursday.
The shocking scene sees one youngster - wearing a white puffer jacket - wielding a claw hammer as he walks towards the fight.
Another carries a metre-long metal pole and is seen wildly swinging at those in the brawl.
But the youths appear to lose their nerve and towards the end of the clip and retreat behind a parked Honda Civic.
Yet as they move away, older thugs brandishing baseball bats and batons clamber over other fighters to try to get a better shot at their foes.
A later clip shows a female police officer desperately try to keep the two groups apart as sirens whir in the background.
She is joined by two other officers and a paramedic on the scene.
Police were reportedly called back to Prestbury Road at 9pm following reports of a stabbing. But no victim was found.
When the footage first emerged on Friday the reason for the fallout was unclear.
But now it has been claimed the fight came after a bitter argument between two women at a wedding last week.
A source told MailOnline the row, outside houses worth around £140,000, hit boiling point on Thursday, which led to young members of the warring families fighting before being joined by men.
The source added that 'every one in the video are related and it was a family feud'.
He described the scene as 'barbaric', adding: 'even a little kid was carrying a metal bar'.
Footage shows screaming women crowd around and try to put themselves between the men as they land heavy punches...."
