Video: Chased by police, Karachi New Year revellers end up in open sewer

As the authorities this year permitted revelers to celebrate New Year at Karachi beach, police had a tough time dealing with excited youths.

One of the widely circulated videos on social media shows policemen chasing a group of revellers as they gathered to celebrate.

While some of them had a thrashing many others fell into an open sewer while running from police.

TV reporters and cameramen who apparently filmed the scene, are heard breaking into a fit of laughter as some teenagers come out of the sewer with their clothes and faces smeared with dirt.

Scores of people were reported injured in different incidents of aerial firing in the metropolis.
