Wild footage has emerged of two men swinging machetes at each other in a major Melbourne shopping centre.

The fight began out in the carpark and continued inside Broadmeadows Central in Melbourne’s north on Friday night.

Footage online shows the two men trying to slash each other - essentially sword fighting - with the machetes as retail workers watch from behind locked security doors.

Screams can be heard as the pair fight in front of a cafe, with another clip showing both men taking swipes at each other in front of a jeweller.

Both appear to be wearing balaclavas.

In a statement, police say an altercation between two groups began in a carpark about 7.20pm and continued in the shopping centre.

“The groups fled the scene in a silver Honda and a white Mazda prior to police arrival.
