Wild scenes as a BABY becomes caught up in a vicious street brawl between two women in Aussie outback town
Shocking footage has emerged of two women brawling in the street as another tried to break them apart while holding a baby.
The women traded blows and pulled each other's hair during the scuffle in broad daylight on the side of a road in Mount Isa in north-west Queensland.
One of the women pulled the other onto a nearby footpath by her hair as another standing nearby holding a baby on her hip ordered her to let go.
A fourth woman who was filming approached and yelled at the bystander to 'move the baby'.
'I'm trying to stop them,' she yelled back.
The mention of the baby temporarily defused the situation before tensions escalated moments later.
The brawling women continued punching until the woman filming finally stepped in to break it up.
'Knock it off,' she ordered them.
Once the women separated, one could be heard yelling to the other: 'Why did you pull my hair?'
It's understood no arrests or charges have been laid.
The latest incident is in the wake of several other public brawls in Mount Isa, leading to rising concerns about violent crime in the area, the Courier Mail reported.
In a separate fight which was also filmed, two women were seen punching each other as a crowd of onlookers watched on.
The woman filming the punch-up was heard saying, 'Hurry up, come on, both wanna (sic) smash each other, hurry the f**k up'.
Both incidents followed a massive brawl involving 30 adults near Mount Isa Hospital on May 9.
Four women were charged with public nuisance.
A week later, footage emerged of multiple people stomping on and punching a person in the early hours of the morning.
Crime has almost doubled in Mount Isa in the last decade, according to Queensland Police data.
Statistics showed 13,731 offences were committed in Mount Isa in 2024 compared to 8,160 in 2014.
The town 's crime rate has increased much quicker than its population, estimated to be around 19,000.
It's understood no charges were laid of the two latest fights.

Aussie cops accused of 'George Floyd moment' after late night arrest on video leaves a man in a coma on life support
A father-of-two who was tackled to the ground and allegedly kneed in the neck by police remains in a critical condition with suspected brain damage. Police allegedly witnessed an altercation between Gaurav Kundi, 42, and his partner Amritpal Kaur in Adelaide 's eastern suburbs early Thursday. According to authorities, Mr Kundi allegedly 'violently resisted' arrest before he became unresponsive while on the ground. Footage filmed by his partner showed Mr Kundi screaming as several officers tried to detain him against a police car. 'I've done nothing wrong,' he shouted. His frantic partner added: 'Yeah, he hasn't done anything, what the hell!' The footage appeared to show police forcing Mr Kundi to the ground. 'Oh my God! They are doing unfair!' Ms Kaur screamed. Ms Kaur alleged an officer put a knee into his neck after she stopped filming due to being in a state of panic. Mr Kundi was rushed to Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition, where he remains on life support. His partner claims the incident would have been avoided had police asked what had happened. 'They needed to ask first what we were doing,' Ms Kaur told Daily Mail Australia on Sunday night. '(The police) can't do this sh*t with someone's life.' Ms Kaur said that her partner spent the evening drinking before leaving their home. She followed him and offered assistance while trying to convince him to come home. Mr Kundi tried to push away her away, telling her he could walk himself. It's understood a passing patrol car mistook the incident for 'domestic violence'. 'I keep saying (to the police) he's not well, he's not well, please don't do this, just call the ambulance,' Ms Kaur said. She claimed she tried to warn police about Mr Kundi's pre-existing health conditions. 'His health is not very good and is heart is not working,' Ms Kaur told Nine News. Doctors can't guarantee that he will wake up from his coma 'His brain is damaged because the policeman hit very badly on the road. On the car, his head. And his neck nerve,' Ms Kaur said. 'Maybe he will wake up if brain works or maybe he will not.' 'I am just sitting over there and praying to God. Nothing else I can do. Nothing else I can do.' No charges have been laid. South Australian Police has launched an internal investigation into the incident as inquiries continue. Authorities will examine 'all evidence', including body-worn footage. SA Acting Assistant Commissioner John DeCandia previously stated he was satisfied officers had acted appropriately. 'I can say that from that evidence I've looked at, from that body-worn video, but it is only one portion, I'm comfortable, but that is only one police officer,' he told reporters on Friday. SA Premier Peter Malinauskas also backed police.

Lacie, 15, was excited about starting a new school. Three weeks later she was dead. This is her heartbroken dad's message to all parents
The grieving father of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life has spoken out, claiming the school she attended for three weeks before she passed away failed to protect her from bullying. Lacie May Murphy died on March 18 after a struggle with mental illness and bullying at her new school on the Gold Coast after moving from New South Wales in search of a fresh start. Her father, Todd Murphy, 39, said that the school dismissed Lacie's pleas for help and made her feel as though her concerns were 'not important'. Originally from Muswellbrook, Lacie had recently moved to the Gold Coast to live with her father. At first, things seemed to be going well - she even texted her dad to say she loved the school. But by the end of her first week, things changed. Lacie began questioning her dad about the way she was being treated by other students. 'Why are they bullying me - why are they saying this?' she asked him at the time. Lacie reported the bullying to the school, but Mr Murphy said she felt ignored. Mr Murphy said staff asked Lacie whether she wished to change schools but she decided to fight on. 'To Lacie's credit, she came back to me after a week and said, "Dad, I want to... battle through and and finish Year 10 at least. And that was her decision. 'And I said, "That's good, that's what I want." I said," I'll look after the bullying. I'll do what I can. I just ask you go to school and try your hardest".' Mr Murphy also hoped Lacie, who identified as Aboriginal, would connect with the school's First Nations liaison officer - but he said it took weeks for anyone to reach out. Tragically, the phone call finally came on March 18 - the same day he came home to find Lacie had died. 'The liason officer was three weeks too late,' her dad said. 'It is the worst possible fear that any parent could have - that you have to bury your child like that.' Lacie had a history of mental health struggles, including ADHD. Her father said the school made an effort to assist her including by giving her a card she could flash to leave the class when she felt 'overwhelmed or anxious'. But Mr Murphy believes the school should have done more to protect his his daughter in the three weeks she spent there before she died. Now, he's urging schools to take bullying more seriously and for parents to better understand warning signs in their children. 'We did know Lacie was struggling, but ultimately, Lacie didn't have the tools in her toolbox to be able to explain well enough to us what she needed, or all the feelings she had,' Mr Murphy told Daily Mail Australia. 'And, you know, [she] bottled them up, and put on a brave face and a smile and didn't want to confront her own demons that she had. 'This mental health stigma and this bullying... it needs to stop. We need to do something.' Lacie has been remembered as a kind and loving soul with a passion for rugby league. 'She was the epitome of selflessness - she cared about others far more than she cared about herself,' Mr Murphy said. 'In the football team it's the same... she would run the ball to get as far as she could for her teammates, she would always stand up for them and always stand up for her friends but she carried so much of that weight herself. 'You know, she cared too much, she loved too much, she didn't know how to let go... she thought she had to do it all and carry it all.' A spokesperson for the Queensland Department of Education admitted it had do more to ensure safe and inclusive environments were created for all students. 'Our thoughts and sincere sympathies are with the student's family, friends and loved ones during this devastating time. It is a tragedy when a young person's life is cut short,' the spokesperson said. The Queensland Government recently announced a $33million investment to help tackle bullying in schools. The new program includes the establishment of 'Rapid Support Squads' designed to fly into schools in need of extra support, funding for wellbeing staff and the expansion of a hotline to provide guidance to carers. 'The Anti-bullying Stakeholder Reference Group, consisting of experts in the field will inform the department's anti-bullying actions and measures and guide future initiatives to prevent and respond to bullying,' they said. 'Furthermore, all students have access to wellbeing professionals at school, and access to a team of experts providing specialist assistance in student protection, mental health and wellbeing.'

Two shot dead in horror Irish bar gun attack in Costa del Sol as victims blasted while watching Champions League final
TWO people have been shot dead at a popular Irish bar in a Costa del Sol holiday resort. A masked man is said to have entered Monaghans Fuengirola and killed his victims in front of horrified tourists and expats enjoying a drink after the end of the Champions League final before fleeing in a getaway vehicle. 1 Some reports speak of two gunmen, although this has yet to be confirmed by police. Grisly pictures from the scene of last night's shooting, which occurred around 11.30pm, show a man lying lifeless on his back in shorts and a T-shirt by a drinks and meal blackboard on an outside terrace at the Irish bar. In other disturbing images police and paramedics can be seen surrounding the body of one of the victims, thought to be the same man, after he was covered under a blanket as shocked locals and holidaymakers looked on. There are no reports yet of any arrests, although police set up roadblocks in the area after the shooting to try to catch those responsible. Unconfirmed local reports are pointing to the horror crime being a possible gang-related shooting because of the way it was executed. The latest gun murders follow the fatal shooting nearly six weeks ago of a 32-year-old British man in nearby Calahonda. He was shot dead around 8pm on April 21 in a professional hit as he headed back to his car after finishing a football match with friends. The killers fled in a getaway car that was later torched. Police are investigating the brutal assassination as a drug-related gang shooting but have yet to make any arrests. The victim has not been named but was known to come from Liverpool. Reports at the time described the incident as the fourth shooting so far that month on the Costa del Sol, where rival gangs have increasingly used extreme violence to settle scores and a number of international mafias are known to have a base. Four days before the Calahonda shooting a 34-year-old man was rushed to the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella after being shot outside a nightclub in the famous Costa del Sol resort. INVESTIGATIONS ARE ONGOING National Police are investigating the latest attack. Monaghans Fuengirola describes itself online as a place 'where you can relax and spend the day enjoying great home cooked meals on a sunny terrace and watch live sporting events.' It also bills itself as a 'family friendly sports bar and restaurant located in Torreblanca, Fuengirola opposite one of the area's most popular beaches.' Torreblanca is to the east of Fuengirola town centre and a stone's throw from an area called Los Boliches. The Malaga branch of hard-right Spanish party Vox said in a post on X, referencing the series of recent shootings on the Costa del Sol: 'A new shooting in the province of Malaga, this time in Fuengirola. 'What are the Popular Party and the governing PSOE party waiting for to increase the presence of police and other state security forces on the Costa del Sol? 'We have been demanding urgent measures to end these shootings for several weeks now.'
