A man appearing to be a security guard could be seen rushing to the scene, throwing himself at the centre of the group to protect the boy cowering away on the floor.
Dress in a yellow high-vis jacket, he broke up the fight and attempted to grab one of the attackers, forcing the mob to flee.
He was commended for the move online, with one Twitter user saying: "Love the fella in the high viz! Need more men like him to tackle the animals."
Another person tweeted: "The security staff deserve a medal for stopping that machete attack outside the school.
"The first guy was amazingly brave and put himself in the way of the blade."
As they escaped, one boy put his middle finger up to the camera while the hooded boy carrying the machete attempted to put the weapon back in its case.
