This is the moment two British women brutally attacked each other in an apparent fight for a man’s attention in a popular Greek party town.
The two tourists, who have not yet been identified, got into a fight in the middle of Malia, about 20 miles east of the Greek island’s capital, Heraklion.
Video footage taken by bystanders shows the women, one wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, the other in a white T-shirt and grey shorts, repeatedly punching and kicking each other.
The woman in white is seen grabbing the other’s hair, pulling it down and hitting her with her free hand several times, all while the woman in black wildly waves her arms.
In a move that shocked passersby, the woman in white can be seen throwing her opponent to the ground, before walking away.

As the Christmas season approaches in Europe, Britons have come under a harsh spotlight due to perceptions about their bad behaviour.
As British holidaymakers flock to Greece for their summer holidays, authorities are using satellites, artificial intelligence and an app to enforce new rules dictating that parasols and sun loungers must be at least four metres from the sea and to stamp out “illegal” use of sun loungers on thousands of beaches across the country.
Angry residents have been taking action as part of the so-called “beach towel movement”, which began last year and has seen thousands of people protest against paying exorbitant prices to use sun loungers.
A video shows a drone flying over rows of beds on the Halkidki peninsula, a tourist destination famous for its stunning beaches.
The first drone flights began in May and have detected rule-breakers on Pefkochori beach who were not licensed to set up their businesses so close to the water.
Pensioner Evgenia Rapti, who has a summer house near Pefkochori beach, is one of many people outraged by the spectacular growth of Greece’s tourism industry.
“The whole beach is occupied” with tables, chairs and sun loungers, explained the 64-year-old retiree.
“When we bought our house 40 years ago, everything was completely different,” he recalls with nostalgia. “The beach was empty and it was nice to lie there.”
