Two violent Polish sisters branded their victims "English sl*t b*****s" before throttling one with a handbag strap and declaring: "Poland rule the world."

Aleksandra, 23, and Angelika Mut, 20, assaulted three English women during the brutal outburst on a night out.

They were brought to justice after their victims tracked them down on Facebook.

The siblings went berserk after two men they were with began making flirty comments towards three other women on a night out.

The Polish sisters then angrily asked their male companions: "Oh, do you want the English sl*t b*****s?"

When the English girls tried to laugh it off, the Mut sisters became even more aggressive.

Aleksandra told one of the girls: "Don't mess with us Polish girls," before asking: "Do you want to fight?"

Victim Jade Ellis was spat at, kicked in the head and repeatedly punched and throttled with the leather strap of a handbag.

She suffered "claw-shaped" scratches to her back, fractured toes and had lost some of her hair.

Meanwhile, Alexandra Chambers was hit in the face with the heel of a stiletto shoe, leaving her with a cut that needed six stitches.

And Rheann Burrows suffered scratches in the bust up.

The Polish sisters, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, were arrested after the three victims got their names from eyewitnesses and found their pictures on Facebook.

The defendants later unsuccessfully tried to claim they were victims of racism.

Angelika, a new mother who is studying to be a nurse, and Aleksandra, a carer who is training to be a hairdresser, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

But they were spared jail after a judge said they had "learnt a hard lesson" from their behaviour.

Afterwards, friends of the sisters tried to protect the two from a news photographer waiting outside court - with one baring her bottom at him in the street as they got into a car.

The incident occurred at 3am on August 15 when the three women were heading to a takeaway after night out in Rochdale.

Prosecutor Paul McDonald told Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester: "They had a good night in local bars and a nightclub and had no trouble during the course of the evening - although all of them had been drinking."

Describing the aftermath of the assault, he said: "When the two girls left they were laughing and shouting 'Poland rule the world'.

"Jade Ellis had two fractured toes and lost some of her hair, her head was bleeding and she had claw-shaped scratches to the back, she also had bruising under her left eye.

"Rheann Burrows had a sore head and neck and scratches. Alexander Chambers had a cut to the face which required six stitches.

"Witnesses at the scene were able to name Angelika Mut and Rheann found photographs of both defendants on Facebook."

Angelika was ordered to complete 160 hours of unpaid work and will pay £375 in compensation, split between Jade Ellis and Alexander Chambers.

Aleksandra will complete 125 hours of unpaid word and will pay £250 in compensation to Jade Ellis.

Judge Timothy Mort said: "The reason you got involved with this was because these girls were English as you were Polish."
