Women arrested after topless brawl outside school in Irish village

Two women have been arrested by gardai following a topless brawl in front of children. The fight broke out at around 9.15am when parents are taking their children to schools and child-minding facilities in Doon, County Limerick, last Friday morning. One eye-witness said that it was like watching wrestling on television. “It was surreal, completely unbelievable. They just went at each other.

“Biting, scratching, pulling hair, kicking, everything, you name it,” said the eye-witness, who didn’t wish to be named. As the brawl progressed on Monastery Road, near Coonagh Court housing estate, the women were in a state of undress. It was in the middle of the street. They were down on the ground on top off each other beating the heads off each other.



“The next thing the tops were pulled off each other and then a bra went flying through the air. You would think that this would have stopped them – but not a bit of it, they kept at it. It wasn’t a few slaps either, this was vicious stuff. There was blood on the ground. Remember now, this was at 9.15 in the morning at a time when mums and dads are bringing their little ones to school and child minders.

“It is hard to get your head around it. The incident lasted for a good few minutes too,” they said. It is understood that the two women involved, both aged in their thirties, were the best of friends but have had a serious falling out in recent times. Following garda investigations two women were arrested in Doon on Monday. They were released without charge with a file to be sent to the DPP.
