CCTV Footage
They say CCTV footage showing the entire incident has been leaked by a member of the public and is being shared on social media.
They've asked people not to watch the footage.
Detective Inspector Dave McCormack is leading the investigation: “We’re aware CCTV footage of the incident has been published online by a member of the public and is being shared on social media. We would ask people not to share this for obvious reasons.
"Behind this footage is real people; someone has lost their life and a family are left grieving.
“We have a team of detectives working on this enquiry and while we’re in the early stages of the investigation, we are following numerous leads. I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information concerning the people involved to come forward.”
Great Yarmouth Policing Commander, Superintendent Nathan Clark said: “We know this incident has caused concern among the local community, especially for such a level of violence to be used in the middle of a street during the day.
"I would like to reassure the public we are working hard behind the scenes to find the person or persons responsible, and we will keep people updated as the investigation progresses.”
