Across the country in Seattle, a woman was seen twerking on top of a police car in front of a jeering crowd as a wild beach party in the city descended into chaos.
Video footage shows hundreds of party-goers dancing on Alki beach but as the sun set on Saturday night, carnage ensued with 'multiple fights and assaults', a robbery and mortar style fireworks being thrown towards a crowd.

In St. Louis, police have been on the hunt for suspects after a mob of people jumped on top of police car that had responded to the scene of a party to break it up.
The crowd jumped up and down and also twerked on top of the patrol vehicle.
The incident happened last week.
One angle posted from a body-worn camera by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is taken from inside the cop car, showing rioters dancing on top of the car - even stomping on the windshield with the police officer inside.
One person then starts twerking on the car, which appears to be shaking violently as a result of the people on top of it.
