A young woman was left bloodied after she was brutally assaulted by three other women in a pub in Cork city centre.
The woman, Jade, was viciously assault on Saturday night at a pub in the city centre, with the altercation spilling out of the premises on to the vicinity of Winthrop Street.
In a video shared on social media, the young woman can be seen with cuts and blood on her face, Cork Beo reports.
Friends said she went into a nearby fast food outlet to try and clean herself up after the attack which left her bloodied and traumatised.
Jade says the row started inside the pub, and she intervened when a woman hit her sister.
The victim of the brutal attack told Cork 96FM's Opinion Line with PJ Coogan: "I tried to pull one of them off my sister, she got me down on the ground and she kept hitting me.
The altercation inside the pub was broken up by security staff, but the incident continued outside on the street.
"She ripped my top off. I got a kick in the face, dig in the head, my eyes were left purple. One of them would hit me, I'd get up, another one would hit me."
Jade has been left bloodied and bruised with black eyes. She thinks she may have lost consciousness for a while. Her family are angry that security staff outside a number of premises in the area did not help her or try to stop the attacks.
Gardai have confirmed that they got a report of an assault in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A spokesman said: "Gardaí in Anglesea Street are investigating a minor assault that occurred on Winthrop Street at approximately 1:30am on Saturday 6th October 2019. A female received minor injuries. Investigation ongoing."
There have been a string of violent incidents in the city centre over recent days. On Tuesday last, a man was attacked and stabbed on the North Main Street as he sat in his car at around 10am with his young son.
