At one point the scale of the violence overwhelmed the officers, forcing them to call in reinforcements from other parts of the estate.One man who had his car window smashed as he attempted to leave the area said he knew the party would get out of control. "I just can't understand why the police don't just get them off the streets. It's all mad," he shouted from his front door.
The impromptu nature of this event left police unable to keep up with the partygoers as a cordon was erected around what appeared to be the site of the unlicensed rave. It left seven officers injured and was one of dozens of illegal parties in the capital city on Friday night.
