Right hooks and flip-flops go flying as vicious all-out brawl erupts among female Spring Breakers in Miami: Concerned city officials extend midnight curfew after five people were injured in separate shootings

Footage of a violent skirmish between Spring Break revelers in Miami Beach has emerged as city commissioners agreed to extend an emergency curfew Tuesday to curb gun violence and overall chaos that has gripped the city in recent days.

The commission voted unanimously during a special meeting to keep a midnight to 6 a.m. curfew in place for the city's South Beach area through at least Monday.

The state of emergency declared Monday by City Manager Alina Hudak would have started the curfew early Thursday after midnight and run through Saturday. Besides the curfew, the commission's Tuesday vote to give the city manager the power to stop liquor stores and other retailers from selling alcohol in the area

Several commissioners acknowledged that the city might be sued by business owners, who normally make a lot of money in March, but they all agreed that keeping residents and visitors safe was the priority.

'You cannot balance public safety with revenue,' Mayor Dan Gelber said.

Thousands of college students and other young people gather each year in Miami Beach for spring break, and this is the second year in a row that officials for the South Florida city have declared a state of emergency in this famed partying spot.

Three people were wounded early Sunday on a street crowded with spring breakers in the city's South Beach neighborhood, police said. Two victims wounded at the scene were taken to a hospital, while doctors at another hospital reported a third person arrived there with a gunshot wound. All were expected to survive.

A 41-second video appears to show three separate fights taking place on 10th Street, a mostly residential strip that intersects with busier thoroughfares like Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, on Saturday night.

A woman in a blue mini dress punches another woman repeatedly while a third woman holds her down. A few feet away, in a different fight, one woman takes several blows to the arm and torso while another woman pulls her hair.

The melee is just one example of the disorder that takes hold in the beach town this time of year. 

A hundred guns have been seized over the past four weeks and five people were wounded in two separate shootings over the weekend despite 371 police officers being deployed. 

On Monday, city leaders announced a curfew for the second year in a row.

Meanwhile, residents are venting on social media about the rowdy visitors, with one person stating: 'Y'all need to pack it up and go back home.' 

Early Monday, officers were patrolling about a block from the Sunday morning shooting site when they heard gunshots, police said. The officers found two women with gunshot wounds though police said their wounds weren't life-threatening.

At the urging of some residents, city officials have been working in recent years to crack down on unruly behavior in South Beach. But moves to curb the excessive drinking and violence have raised complaints about racism, classism and business practices.

Joshua Wallack, chief operating officer of Mango´s Tropical Café, represents one of the Ocean Drive businesses that have pushed back against attempts by city officials to ban alcohol sales after 2 a.m. instead of 5 a.m. But Wallack said he understood the need for the emergency curfew.

'They're reacting to the conditions that are present and doing what's best for the city,' Wallack said.

Events like the Miami Beach Live concert series have helped control crowds this year, Wallack said. The problems seems to arise when large groups of people just hang around outside with nothing to do, he said. Wallack said he hopes the city can arrange for more events in the future.
