Over a hundred people were arrested after anarchy broke out at a Jeep enthusiasts event, with mass brawls, a burning vehicle and lewd behavior on a Texas beach.
Thousands have called for the 'Go Topless Galveston' event to be cancelled after police arrested 125 people from Thursday to Saturday on Crystal Beach.
Shocking footage shows half-naked men jumping out of 4x4s and pounding each other over the head during the day and into the evening, as the party-goers became increasingly aggressive.
Police rushed to shoreline to deal with car crashes, public intoxication, drink driving, vehicle burglary and other offenses, after the party spiraled out of control.

An ambulance helicopter was rushed in due to the volume of people with injuries and police have blamed larger than expected crowds for the chaos, the Drive reported.
Sheriff Henry Trochesset said it was lucky that 'no one died.'
He said a number of people fell from their vehicles and hit their heads, that there was a head-on collision between two cars and another had burst into flames with a passenger being hauled from the wreckage, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Controlling the pandemonium was made difficult by the sheer number of large vehicles and the high tide which prevented patrol cars from accessing parts of the beach.
Heather Farr, who has been going to the party for the last four years, told the Houston Chronicle: 'It was very difficult to even walk through all the cars and people, much less drive.'

At nightfall another group were seen scrapping, with caution thrown to the wind and punches raining down on heads as they tussled on the floor
Farr described seeing at least one car speeding through the waves at around 50mph, with an officer totally powerless to stop it due to the traffic.
'In previous years, I've seen them stop many of the people riding on top of or on the hood of buggies or jeeps and tell them to get down, which prevents the accidents like we saw this weekend,' Farr told
