The police were so exasperated that they saw red and some went mad with sex mania.

It was a horrible spectacle in detail.

Men with foam on their moustaches were gripping women by the breasts, tearing open their clothing, and proceeding to rabid indecencies.

Or, if not sex-mad, they twisted their arms, turned back their thumbs to dislocation, rained blows with fists on pale faces, covering them with blood.

They tore out golden hair or thin grey locks with equal disregard.
