This is the embarrassing moment in which two British tourists fight each other in a Majorcan resort.
One of the women was in a thong, but that didn’t stop her from strangling her rival and then having a go at a good Samaritan who was trying to separate them before turning her attention back to her rival.
Witnesses egged the couple on as they made a spectacle of their late-night show.
A group of British women watching from a safe distance shouted: “Fight, fight, fight” as rioters shoved and slapped each other.
The fight occurred on Saturday night in Cala d’Or, on the southeast coast of Mallorca, in an area full of bars and restaurants, hours after regional government officials announced a tightening of legislation aimed at ending the drunken tourism in the island’s party resorts including parts of Magaluf.

It was not entirely clear why the brunette was involved in the violence, who appeared very unsteady when she was picked up from the ground.
The fight took place on Saturday night in Cala d’Or, on the southeast coast of Mallorca.
The incident was resolved with the help of locals and it is not believed that the police were called.
Under amended legislation announced on Friday, British tourists have been warned they face fines of up to £1,300 if they are caught drinking alcohol on the street in places such as Magaluf’s party zone Punta Ballena.
Shops selling alcohol at night after 9:30 p.m. have also been ordered to close.
The areas covered by the amendment to a four-year-old regional government decree against so-called “excess tourism” are more or less the same as before and include parts of some of Mallorca and Ibiza’s most daring resorts, including Magaluf and San Antonio, which are more popular with the British.
The incident on Saturday night is also being exploited by activists protesting against the crowds of tourists.
Last month there were demonstrations throughout the Canary Islands.
On May 25, a demonstration was called in a central square in Palma, the capital of Mallorca.
Protesters will try to make their voices heard using the slogan: “Mallorca is not for sale”, while calling on their politicians to address some of the problems they say are making their lives a misery, including congested roads and lack of access to affordable housing.
