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.
