This is the shocking moment a man brazenly kicks a woman to the ground on the streets of Ireland before they continue to exchange blows.
A woman clad in pink pyjamas is seen marching towards a man as a bystander films outside a shopping centre in Limerick, County Limerick, on Tuesday last week.
In a disturbingly nonchalant manner, the man kicks the woman in the face.
The woman is knocked backwards, falling back onto the pavement. She is seen holding her face as another woman dressed in grey jogging bottoms and a pink jumper scampers 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 a continued fight.

The woman who had been kicked to the ground then appears to find a second wind as she also runs around the corner. The woman then tries to thrust a kick at the man’s shin but misses.
The man then puts a hand out and tries to walk off but is still being pursued by the two women. As the filming bystander appears to find the altercation rather comical, others make failed attempts to stop the situation from escalating further.
As the two women continue to follow the attacker, the man responds by again unleashing a further two kicks at the woman wearing the pink pyjamas.
‘Absolute scenes up in Limerick city, … boys kicking jaws all over the shop,’ the cameraman commentates as the ruckus continues.
‘His kick was so clean, it knocked her clean out,’ he adds.
The man then attempts to walk away again but the woman is still in close pursuit. He swiftly spins around, this time punching her in the face and knocking her into a wall. Other bystanders start to scream at the man.
A later clip shows the man and woman still at each other’s throats. This time the woman is restrained by an elderly man, but she pushes him away running towards the attacker.
The man behind the camera continues his commentary, dubbing it ‘theatrical’ and ‘like something you see at the theatre’.

The force of the kick sends her spinning around and onto the pavement again. This enrages the elderly man who goes after the attacker himself.
The cameraman chirps in again: ‘Aw lads, fight, round four, oh my God.’
The fighting continues on the other side of Arthur’s Quay shopping centre as the woman and man lock hands. He knocks her back tumbling into a parked car.
Her head bounces off the driver-side door of the car and she remains on the floor. The woman appears to be seriously hurt as she yells out before her friend comes to her aid.
