A group of about 20 scantily-clad screaming women had a drunken catfight in Southend town centre.
The battle at the top of Pier Hill went on for about 10 minutes as the women pulled hair, punched and kicked each other.
When police arrived they found two men fighting in the centre of the brawl and arrested them along with one of their girlfriends who was given a fixed penalty notice.
Witness Ron Fidgeon, owner of the Regency Hotel in Royal Terrace, said of yesterday morning's scrap: "There was about 20 off them - they were having a good scrap. The majority of them were women.
"They were well drunk and the women were going at each other hammer and tongs - pulling each other's hair - you name it."
