Buenos Aires, January 11, 2026 – The beaches of Mar Azul lost their usual calm following a fierce brawl between street vendors and churro sellers that went viral on social networks. The confrontation, which included punches, kicks, and basket hits, occurred in broad daylight in front of tourists and children who had to move away to avoid getting hurt, according to the Argentine News Agency. The incident revealed the indignation of vacationers over the absence of police or municipal controls in the area. According to local sources, the background to the violence is the economic crisis of the season: the drop in sales would have exacerbated the rivalry for control of the few areas of the beach with a high concentration of people. Despite the violence of the clash, the altercation ended with no arrests or officially reported serious injuries.
