Just another night in Alice Springs: Woman films a hoon doing burnouts along the Outback town's main street – before changing her focus to a baffling brawl that spills out of a mini-mart

Shocking footage has captured the moment a fight broke out in front of a remote Outback mini-mart while a hoon performed burnouts in the background.  

The chaotic scenes took place along one of the main streets in Alice Springs in front of dozens of revellers on November 6.

Local resident Jannah Mae had stopped to film a car revving for onlookers when two men started shouting at each other.

'A thriving, spirited outback centre, Alice Springs is famous for the personality of its locals,' Ms Mae captioned the video online, making light of a NT tourism slogan. 

Her video begins with the loud screech of tires as the car hoons down the road before doing a burnout in front of onlookers.

Moments later a woman barges up to two men in the midst of of an argument outside the mini-mart on Todd Street.

She stands in between the pair as one tries to start a fight while the other tells him to stand down so he can eat his food.

The driver slams the brakes at the lights and does a donut before racing down the main strip once more.

The woman who shared the video said she wanted to show people what the 'real Alice Springs' was like.

Ms Mae captured the footage on Friday November 6 around at about 10.30pm.

She said 'fights are a normal occurrence' but the number of stolen vehicles and criminal activity in Alice has 'skyrocketed' in recent months. 

'The youths who cause most if not all of these acts have no fear of the consequences, mainly because there are none,' Ms Mae told Daily Mail Australia.

'The people of Alice Springs live in fear every day. We can't go out during the day because we're scared of our houses getting broken into whilst we're gone.

'We can't go out for dinner because we're worried our cars will get smashed up or our handbags/wallets stolen. 

'The real Alice Springs is a town rampant with youth crime and a government unwilling to step up and do what is necessary.'

While there was not visible police presence in the video, a statement posted online revealed a number of people were arrested that night. 

Six officers have been relocated from Darwin to Alice Springs as part of 'Strike Force Viper' targeting property crime and car theft.

The day after the video was filmed police arrested two young people after a police pursuit through the town's central business district. 

One of those was a 14-year-old boy, who was allegedly driving a stolen Hyundai Accent in a dangerous manner down the main street. 

Using CCTV and drones, police were able to track the vehicle and arrest the driver and 16-year-old passenger.

Police also arrested a 27-year-old man for dangerous drink driving in a Ford Falcon.

Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Jordan said it is not safe for community members to be leaving doors unlocked or property unsecured in the community. 

'The driving behaviour of these youths is extremely concerning,' Detective Senior Sergeant Jordan said. 

'I can't stress enough that although it's a right to be able to leave doors unlocked and belongings anywhere the reality is there are people who do not respect this, and I ask that everyone be mindful in locking their houses at night and when not home. 

'If we take away any opportunities from these youths it will assist in reducing this type of behaviour.'
