Six police cars and two ambulances were called to the street in Newport.
The fight reportedly began inside a beachfront home before it spilled out onto the streets.
One resident said at least a dozen uniformed police officers were called to the fight right as it concluded.
'Girls were screaming and there were numerous young people milling about, some wearing school uniforms,' the resident told The Manly Daily.
'I was told that an adult stepped in to break it up and the kids turned on him before the brawl escalated.'

They were taken away for questioning and investigations are continuing.
