There’s no doubt the scar close to Nikki Mauger’s left eye was caused by the heel of a stiletto.

The 22-year-old nursing student says she received the injury as she lay on the floor of a nightclub bathroom while two other women kicked her.

“Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting,” says Nikki.

“I cannot believe these girls would attack one person on the ground. I could have been unconscious."

Nikki was in The Bedroom nightclub in Surfer’s Paradise a week ago partying with friends including Geordie Shore star "Scotty T".

“We were in a private booth,” says Nikki, who also used to work at the club.

“Suddenly all these other people came into the booth and I asked them to leave. They were all happy to go except for these three girls who abused and threatened me.”

Sometime later, Nikki says, she headed to the bathroom, not realising the same three women followed her.

“I was king hit from behind and collapsed to the floor then they started kicking me,” says Nikki.

Nikki was discharged from hospital with severe bruising on her left arm, back and face. (9news)

Coming to Nikki’s rescue was 19-year-old Kelly Holloway who happened to be in the bathroom at the same time.

“I came out of a cubicle and saw these girls stomping on her face and kicking her back,” says Kelly.

“My first reaction was to pull the girls off her and when I did they ran away.”

With the help of a security guard, Kelly managed to sit Nikki, who was fading in and out of consciousness, on a couch until an ambulance arrived.

Nikki was rushed to hospital and eventually released with severe bruising on her left arm, back and face, much to the horror of her mum Michelle.

“Who would have thought young women would do this,” says Michelle Mauger.

“You would hope women look out for one another not attack them.”

Nikki and Kelly have given statements to police, who say they are investigating.

On the streets of the glitter strip, nightclub patrons told A Current Affair they regularly see young women fighting.

"I've literally seen so many girls punching on with each other and it's just really bad," says one girl .

Another said: "I've seen girls fighting and they're seriously savage."

Mobile phone and security camera vision shows several brawls involving young women on the street outside nightclubs.

"Nobody should be a victim of alcohol-fuelled violence. It's not ok," says model Elise Chambellant.

Elise says she was also attacked in the bathroom of a Brisbane nightclub almost two years ago when she tried to stop a fight between a group of girls.

“They turned on me and I was getting dragged around by my hair,” says Elise.

She ended up spending her Saturday night in emergency with a bruised and swollen face.

A week after the brutal attack also left her in hospital Nikki Mauger got to thank Kelly Holloway in person for saving her from something worse.

"It means a lot for me to come here and say thank you," Nikki tells Kelly.
