This is the moment two British women brutally attack each other in a fight for a man’s attention in a notorious Greek party town.
The two tourists, whose identities have not yet been released, got into a fight in the centre of Malia, about 32 kilometres east of Heraklion, the capital of the Greek island.
Bystander video footage shows the women, one dressed in a black top and shorts, the other in a white top and gray shorts, repeatedly hitting and kicking each other.
The woman in white grabbed the other by the hair, pulled her and hit her several times with her free hand, while the woman in black waved her arms wildly.
In a move that shocked passers-by, the woman in white can be seen pulling her opponent to the ground and then walking away.

Later images showed the woman’s face in black, covered in blood, as she sat on the ground trying to regain consciousness.
With the festive season approaching in Europe, Britons are coming under fire for their bad behaviour.
As British tourists flock to Greece for their summer holidays, authorities are deploying satellites, artificial intelligence and an app to enforce new rules, including requiring parasols and sun loungers to be placed at least four metres from the sea and cracking down on the ‘illegal’ use of sunbeds on thousands of beaches across the country.
Angry residents have taken action as part of the so-called ‘beach towel movement’, which began last year and saw thousands of people protest against the extortionate prices they were being charged to use sun loungers.
Video footage shows a drone flying over rows of beds on the Halkidki peninsula, a holiday destination known for its beautiful beaches.
The first drone flights took place in May and violators were spotted on Pefkochori beach who did not have a permit to open a shop so close to the water.
Pensioner Evgenia Rapti, who has a summer house near Pefkochori beach, is one of many who are outraged by the dramatic growth of Greece’s tourist industry.
“The entire beach is occupied” with tables, chairs and sun loungers, said the 64-year-old retiree.
“When we bought our house 40 years ago, it was completely different,” she recalls wistfully. “The beach was empty and it was nice to lie there.”
