A woman was left bloodied and battered after a brawl in front of shocked onlookers in Dublin city centre in the early hours of the morning.
The violent incident, which happened in a shop on Dame Street, saw the two women fight near the entrance of the busy location. The pair viciously throw punches at each other before they are broken up by a security guard.
One of the women, who wears a black coat, is left bloodied on the side of her face and looks on as the woman she is separated from leaves the shop. As the other woman dressed in white leaves the shop she accuses the bloodied woman of attempting to rob from her.

While one Dublin city community has said that they fear going outside their front door after 5pm due to a growing armed gang issue. Further calls have also been made for a public transport police following a homophobic assault on Dublin Bus.
