A video of revelers engaging in a free-for-all at Miami Beach last night is currently trending on social media.
In the video, a rowdy group of women can be seen trading blows and throwing each other to the ground like a scene from a dystopian movie.
However, the cause of the brawl could not be immediately determined.
A few men can be seen milling around while shooting cell phone videos instead of separating the brawlers.

This came as Miami Beach Mayor, Dan Gelber declared a state of emergency and set an 8 p.m. curfew, saying the crowds that have descended on the city recently are “more than we can handle.”
“Too many are coming, really, without the intention of following the rules, and the result has been a level of chaos and disorder that is just something more than we can endure,” CNN quoted Gelber as saying.
Miami Beach Police also descended on revellers, arresting at least a dozen, as part of extraordinary measures adopted to curtail the mammoth crowd of springbreakers.
