Rival biker gangs fought a bloody battle with machetes in front of horrified passengers in the arrivals lounge of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:place></st1:City> airport. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> A 50-year-old man is fighting for his life with a knife wound to the head following the violence at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">International</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Airport</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>’s Terminal 1 on Sunday. <o:p></o:p> Eye witnesses said a gang of 10 men and one woman waited in the lounge to attack three men getting off a flight from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Alicante</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Spain</st1:country-region></st1:place>. 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.
