This shocking video shows an Irish bare knuckle boxer laughing as he filmed children punching and kicking a disabled woman.

The footage was filmed by Gramsey Joyce - known for his brutal bare knuckle fights within the travelling community - who can be heard laughing while the assault took place.

Mr Joyce, 39, is living in Co Fermanagh where the incident is believed to have taken place.

The video shows a woman sitting down in Joyce's sitting room before a young girl wearing a Manchester United jersey appears to assault her.

The young girl slapped the woman multiple times before the pair rose to their feet.

The young girl then gets into a 'fighting stance' and launches punches towards the woman.

Joyce tells the woman she is "well matched" before a second, younger child begins to strike the woman.

When the woman grabs one of child's, Joyce said: "Don't push her or you'll have me to get up to you."

The woman repeatedly tells the children to "Stop it", but they continue their assault while laughing at her.

As the woman gets cornered by the children near the television he tells them: "F**k sake, watch my television."

The taller child then repeatedly asks the woman "are you beat?" while throwing punches her way.

A young man then appears in the room and seems to be trying to calm things down before launching his own assault on the woman.

He grabbed her before placing her in a head lock.

The woman is released and moves in to another room out of shot before the eldest child faced the camera shouting: "We won".

Speaking to the Irish Sun, Mr Joyce said: "She is not bruised or marked in any way.

"It was a bit of a joke gone too far... it went a bit viral and people are saying she has a hard life."

In a statement, the PSNI said: "Chief Inspector Rosie Thompson said: “Police have received a number of reports on Sunday 19th May about a video posted on a social media platform.

“Enquiries are ongoing.”
