Video has captured the moment a furious hair-pulling brawl erupted in the women’s toilets at Cheltenham Festival

The violent fight broke out in front of horrified racegoers behind the famous Guinness Village stage on St Patrick’s Thursday.

Six women became embroiled in the ruckus as they screamed expletives at one another, pulled each other’s hair and grappled on the floor.

One woman wearing a checked jacket can be seen being pushed into a cubicle as she tightly tugs on the hair of a redhead, wearing a miniskirt and boots.

Several women then became involved in the punch-up, where they all fell to the ground after pushing against an open cubicle door.

A short kicking exchange between the two then reignites the fight, as the redhead is dragged to the ground by the woman with the checked jacket once again.

Shocked onlookers could be heard saying, ‘Oh my God’ as the woman began to launch a slew of punches on her head while screaming: ‘Get your f*** ginger ****.’

Security quickly raced to the toilets where two of the women had locked themselves in a cubicle, and they were led off the premises.

The redhead stayed at the festival and was later spotted looking dishevelled as she spoke to friends.

A witness told The Sun: ‘I was at the Guinness stage having a little boogie. I went to the loo and walked in, and this big fight started.

‘Someone called the security and they came in and dragged the girls out of the loos and they got escorted out.

‘The older woman kept going on about something about her daughter.’

The estate agent believed the redhead may have said something to the daughter of the woman in the checked jacket.

The brawl is understood to have erupted at around 3pm when Peter Crouch was set to head to the Guinness Village to give out 1,000 free pints.

A spokesperson for Cheltenham Racecourse said: ‘When it comes to any form of antisocial behaviour we operate a strict zero-tolerance policy.

‘This was an isolated incident involving a small number of racegoers which was dealt with quickly by our security team and resulted in two racegoers being ejected from the racecourse.’

However, it was not the first fight of the event, with a chaotic brawl breaking out among a group of men inside.
