A very vicious fight broke out on Friday night on Coney Island in New York and it was caught on camera. The fight was so violent that police officers tried unsuccessfully to break it up without success until they eventually had to resort to dispersing the crowd with a pepper spray
The horrifying footage shows a group of women fighting each other at about 11 p.m near Luna Park. Two police officers can be seen in the video trying to put an end to the violence but they were unable to stop them. A man can also be seen in the video standing over two women who were fighting while driving away anyone who tries to interfere.
One woman in a white tank top can be seen straddling another, punching her repeatedly and slamming her face into the ground.
"I will go to jail," she repeated over and over again as she punched her powerless opponent.
The women continued fighting, not minding the police officers present, until one of the officers used a pepper spray to disperse them. A female officer suffered a knee injury and can be seen falling to the ground in the video.
Eight people were arrested following the encounter. Six women were arrested that night, police said. Delicia Walker, Victoria Alexender, Tyra Budoo, Nyasra Budoo, Aijae Smith and Jaaleessa Burks, all from Brooklyn and aged between 17 and 25, were charged with assaulting a police officer. Two men - Marquise Rowell, 22, and Steven Bowens, 20 - were also arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer. Bowens was also charged with criminal possession of a knife, though police said it was not used during the fight.
