This disturbing footage shows the moment a woman launches a vicious attack on a young mum - while she's holding her child.

During the attack, the thug grabs the mother by her hair and drags her off her chair, causing the toddler to fall off her lap onto the floor.

She then pulls her brutalised victim along the ground while repeatedly hitting her around the head.

In the background her terrified child screams as her mother is attacked.

Troublingly, a male pal of the attacker dances with joy as the ferocious beating takes place.

Prior to the violence, the attacked says to the mum "get up, get up".

The person filming the clash can be heard saying: "She keeping that baby so she don't get her ass kicked."
