Scenes of disorder turned the popular coastal town's streets into a chaotic battleground in the early hours
A popular seaside town was overrun by shirtless men as an early morning brawl spilt into the streets.
The Welsh seaside town of Barry saw a massive street fight erupt over the weekend, with bare-chested men brawling in the road after drinking establishments closed for the night.
The violent disorder unfolded on Broad Street, situated near Cardiff in South Wales, at approximately 1.30am on Sunday as revellers spilled out of local pubs and bars.
Video footage that has since surfaced shows dozens of people involved in the confrontation, with men trading blows and grappling in the middle of the carriageway.
Scenes of disorder turned the popular coastal town's streets into a chaotic battleground in the early hours.
Clips from the incident show onlookers clambering onto the roofs of parked vehicles to capture the mayhem on their phones, triggering car alarms in the process.
Several men can be seen hurling punches, with some combatants ending up sprawled across the tarmac.
In one particularly disturbing moment, a man appears to attempt a kick directly at another person's head.
Voices can be heard pleading with those involved, with shouts of "stop it boys" ringing out amid the violence.
Despite the appeals, many bystanders simply stood and observed the unfolding chaos.
Security staff were also visible in the footage, apparently struggling to bring the situation under control.
South Wales Police confirmed that officers were dispatched to the scene at around 1.30am.
The individuals involved had already left the area by the time they arrived.
The force said its enquiries into the incident remain active and urged anyone who may have witnessed the disorder or has relevant information to come forward.
No arrests have been publicly confirmed in connection with the brawl, which has drawn widespread attention since footage began circulating online.
Barry, a well-known coastal destination in the Vale of Glamorgan, is popular with visitors and locals alike, making the violent scenes all the more alarming for residents.
