Christmas drinks were seen getting out of hand tonight as revellers were spotted fighting, urinating and collapsing in the street.

Festive celebrations in Leeds, West Yorkshire, saw paramedics treating a man who was lying on a pavement in the city centre, apparently unconscious.

Other drinkers were seen scuffling in the street as others vomited on the final Friday ahead of December 25.

Emergency services were left to mop up the carnage as party-goers were spotted appearing worse for wear in the city centre before the night was through.

Dubbed Mad Friday, tonight Mad Friday is traditionally when workers go out to celebrate the start of their Christmas holidays with colleagues, safe in the knowledge that they have the entire weekend in which to recover.
