This is the shocking moment when a man brutally kicks a woman to the ground in the streets of Ireland before they continue to exchange blows.
A woman dressed in pink pajamas marches towards a man as a bystander films outside a shopping center in Limerick, County Limerick, last Tuesday.
In a disturbingly nonchalant manner, the man kicks the woman in the face.
The woman is knocked back and falls back onto the pavement. She is seen holding her face as another woman dressed in gray sweatpants and a pink sweater runs past to confront the man.
Seemingly unfazed by the altercation, the man has already walked off in the opposite direction. The filming bystander reacts in shock before the attack erupts into an ongoing fight.
In a disturbingly casual manner, the man is seen raising his leg as the woman approaches him before pushing his foot down

The kicked woman then seems to find a second wind as she also runs around the corner. The woman then tries to land a kick on the man’s shin, but misses.
The man then extends a hand and tries to walk away, but is still chased by the two women. While the filming bystander seems to find the altercation rather comical, others make futile attempts to prevent the situation from escalating further.
As the two women continue to follow the attacker, the man responds by kicking twice again at the woman wearing the pink pajamas.
“Absolute scenes in Limerick city,… boys kicking their jaws all over the shop,” the cameraman notes as the commotion continues.
“His kick was so clean it knocked all the way out,” he adds.
The man then tries to run away again, but the woman is still hot on his heels. He spins around quickly, this time punching her in the face and knocking her against a wall. Other bystanders start yelling at the man.
A later clip shows the man and woman still at each other’s throats. This time, the woman is stopped by an older man, but she pushes him away as she runs towards the attacker.
The man behind the camera continues his commentary, calling it “theatrical” and “like something you see in the theatre.”
