A graphic video of two local women fighting at a shocking fight in Dundalk has gone viral in recent days.

The video, seen by Talk of the Town, shows one woman (pictured above) receive a savage beating with a knuckle duster, leaving her almost unrecognisable.

In the video, which was removed from YouTube due to its violent nature, one woman pummels another woman in the face, at one point squeezing her bloodied head with her hands.

As they fought a group of men and women can be heard spurring the pair on, making little attempt to stop the violence.

When the fight eventually stops, it briefly starts again with the one of the women receiving several further blows.

Eventually onlookers break up the attack with one telling the other woman: “It’s game over, let’s go.”

The clip ends with one of the women in a stricken state on the ground. Those around her can be heard saying: “We got her, we got her.”

It is understood that the fight took place at Dundalk Rugby Club earlier this week.
