Hot-headed Brits have been spotted battling on the beach after a sunny day out turned into a violent mass brawl.

Sarah Piper was one of many who made their way down to the seafront to soak in the sun as the nation was treated to its hottest day of the year.

Unfortunately, the 35-year-old’s relaxing afternoon was cut short after a massive brawl sparked outside of a beach bar.

“All of a sudden out of nowhere a fight broke out,” Sarah, from Brighton, told Need To Know.

“There were hundreds of teens standing around drinking and smoking.”

Sarah had gone to Shelter Hall, Brighton on Wednesday (8 Apr) evening for dinner and to enjoy the sun.

With temperatures reaching up to 24 degrees in the coastal city, residents of all ages were out enjoying it, including a huge group of rowdy teens.

The footage shows a huge brawl sparking outside of the food court with a man in a grey t-shirt throwing punches at another.

Hundreds of teens gathered round the fight creating chaos at around 7:40pm.

Bouncers for Shelter Hall can be seen pushing the fighters back from entering their garden area.

Sarah said: “Saw two very bloodied teens.

“Would say cops took 10 or 15 minutes to show up and tried to break the crowd up.

“The guy punching in the grey top had run off by then.

“I don’t know what it was about or if they even knew each other.”

On Wednesday (8 April) at around 7.45pm, police responded to reports of fights taking place on the Lower Promenade, near to the Kings Road Arches and underpass in Brighton.

Further antisocial behaviour was also reported, and it was found that around 200 youths had gathered in the area.

One teenager was detained and removed from the group while the gathering dispersed. He was then released without further action.

Neighbourhood Policing Chief Inspector, Simon Marchant, said; “While officers are always just a call away to respond to any incident, parents and carers are also encouraged to speak with their children about the risks of gathering in large groups, as violence and antisocial behaviour can quickly escalate, putting young people and the wider community at risk.

“No arrests were made on this occasion, but any youths found offending will be dealt with appropriately.

“Most would agree that warmer weather and time spent enjoying Brighton seafront is welcome, but it must not be accompanied by an increase in reports such as this.”
