A ugly mass brawl broke out on a beach as the UK basked in an early summer heatwave.

Two men were seen trading blows on the sand.

They both connected with their punches and one then appeared unsteady on his feet.

Stunned bystanders in their swimwear watched on as the melee moved around the beach.

Some youths could be seen on top of a beach hut to avoid the ugly clash.

One witness filmed the brawl in a two-minute-and-56-second video.

It was part of widespread anti-social disturbances in Broadstairs, Kent on Saturday (21 Jun).

Temperatures on the beach reached 30C (86F) that day, as reported on Need To Know.

A Kent Police spokesperson said: “We were called to a report that a disturbance related to approximately 50 individuals was taking place on Broadstairs beach shortly before 3pm on Saturday 21 June.

“Officers attended and after completing enquiries a 17 year old boy was arrested and taken into custody.

“Later that day, the teenager was charged with assaulting a police officer and was bailed with conditions to attend Maidstone Youth Court at a later date.

“A dispersal order remains in place following concerns of antisocial behaviour involving a small minority of young people in some public areas, including the town centre and beaches.

“Local officers will be on patrol to provide a visible presence and to ensure the area remains a safe place for all.”
