CRAWL OF THE WILD; Residents' fury at boozy rampage.

Byline: RICHARD SMITH

THIS was the moment a quiet residential street was invaded by an army of drunken tourists marching to the pub.

Furious locals claim some of the revellers - who were on a massive organised pub crawl - let off air horns, rolled over car bonnets and simulated sex acts while others vomited and urinated in the street.

Peter Jackson, who lives in the road in Newquay, Cornwall, said: "All of a sudden we heard screaming and shouting. There were over 100 people there. It's usually very quiet during the week. There was a guy leading and he's going round with a horn. The noise was horrendous."

Ben Abbott, whose parents own a guest house on the road, added: "I don't mind if it's in the town centre but this is a residential street. It would be good if they had a little respect. They were lying in the street and stopping cars. People come up here quite fast and could have mown down 20 of them."

Organiser Issy Fisher, who coowns the firm Newquay's Biggest Bar Crawl, has apologised to the residents for the scenes on Tuesday.

She added: "I called an emergency meeting with my staff as soon as I was made aware the air-horn had been used. Disciplinary action has been taken."
