Two men will be sentenced after they were involved in a street brawl involving two gangs.
Brothers James and Charles Patrick appeared at Maidstone Crown Court, where they admitted charges of affray following an incident in Chatham.
Footage of the brawl captured by witnesses
The pair were involved in a clash between two gangs in Walderslade Road on Friday, April 5.
They pair previously appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court after they were charged with affray and possession of an offensive weapon.
Charles 'Charley' Patrick, 30, of no fixed address, but formerly of Gorse Road, Chatham, did not enter a plea for either. He was charged with possession of a hammer.
His brother Jack, 22, also did not enter pleas. He was charged with possession of a baseball bat.
However, when they appeared at Maidstone Crown Court, the charges for possession of an offensive weapon in public were dropped as the Crown offered no evidence.
Pictures and video from the incident showed two groups of men chasing each other in the road and damage to parked vehicles.
Two other men arrested in connection with the incident were later released without charge.
The brothers will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court for sentencing on Monday, October 28.
