Footage posted on TikTok shows the large group of teens congregating in a circle around an impromptu wrestling match, complete with a referee and a ring, in similar scenes to those observed at Coogee Beach in Sydney last month.

As a pair of teenagers continue to wrestle on the sand, a woman steps into the ring and tries to shut down the competition and disperse the crowd before somebody throws a plastic bottle at her.

Local resident Bernadette Kirchner said the incident was a “disgusting” display of disrespect towards police, parents and the general public.

“If you want to organise a fight, don’t do it in public. Oh, and good luck with the rest of your lives, you should all have been arrested,” she said in a Facebook post.

“An absolute waste of (police) resources.”

According to police, two teens who had been fighting each other were arrested at the scene.

One of the teens, a 15-year-old from Marino, was charged with disorderly behaviour and granted bail to appear in Adelaide Youth Court on December 2.
