Miami, Florida (WFOR) – Mobile phone videos showed people in boxing gloves surrounded by the sand, which is surrounded by a ring of students in Fort Lauderdale for spring break.

“I heard a guy started to take bets with his phone,” said Joshua Pettus, who recorded the video. “[The guy taking bets] I asked about crypto, and so you do it with crypto. I was a bit fascinated, but worried. I automatically pulled out my phone. “

Pettus lives on a boat that is docked nearby. He goes for fun on the beach. He also loves to spend College students money for the spring break in the city that has called the floor for nine years.

The fight on the beach on Tuesday brought the eyebrows.

Pettus' Video showed that a shirtless man stirred a lot of dozens of people who circled two fighters. Two men in the middle of the circle put boxing gloves, touched their hands and then fought. One hit the other man and continued to hit the fighter on the floor.

Pettus saw worse.

“You see that all of these feet kick the guy that is on the floor,” said Pettus. “It's crazy. It is unsure. If you had someone there legally, it would be different. But you [have families] And children out there. [The fighting] Shouldn't happen. “

Fort Lauderdale's police officers in ATV were rolled up and quickly ended the fight. However, if more violence follows on the beach, Pettus wonders whether it is worth organizing the spring holidays for the city.

A spokesman for the city of Fort Lauderdale replied with an e -eMail declaration.

“The police from Fort Lauderdale watched and broke two incidents on the beach, and the crowd met both times without further problems,” said Christine Portela, the media relationships and the public work director for Fort Lauderdale. “No legal or confirmed bets were reported. This type of behavior is not tolerated. Our police department is equipped with full strength on the beach on the beach to make it safe and pleasant for visitors and residents during this spring break. We encourage everyone who witness to call 911. “
