Violence at Cheltenham Racecourse! Two women attacked a young girl and pulled her hair, while other women screamed, 'Stop it!' Security did not intervene. Police could not find the attackers. #CheltenhamRacecourse #violenceagainstwomen
The horse racing festival held at England's world-famous Cheltenham Racecourse, attended by thousands of elite figures from royal family members to high society, made headlines this time not for sports but for an act of brutality in the women's restroom. Two women who overindulged in alcohol allegedly viciously attacked a young woman in her 20s waiting in line for the toilet.
Secret camera footage exclusively published by The Sun, one of the country's highest-circulation newspapers, sparked outrage in British public opinion. The 1-minute video recorded in the restrooms just behind the luxurious Guinness Village stage resembles a horror movie.
"They Tore Out Her Hair!" Punches Rained on the Victim's Head In the footage, one of the enraged attackers can clearly be seen pinning the young woman down and ruthlessly punching her head. The unfortunate victim, targeted by the woman spewing unspeakable curses and insults, had a large portion of her hair torn out by the roots during the incident.
The terrified screams of other women in the restroom and cries of "Oh my God, stop it!" were captured second by second on camera.
After the horrific minutes, it was revealed that the racecourse's private security guards intervened in the incident but, instead of handing the attackers over to the police, merely escorted them out of the facility and released them.
British police are pursuing the thugs, whose identities remain unknown as no arrests were made at the scene. Despite weeks of technical surveillance and examination of hundreds of hours of camera footage, detectives have been unable to track down the women. Left with no choice, the police eventually distributed suspect composite photos to the press, asking for public assistance.
In an official statement from the police force, it was noted that the two women who savagely inflicted violence while covering for each other are believed to be "mother and daughter." The description of the fugitive mother-daughter duo, who have drawn significant backlash on social media, is as follows:
On the day of the incident, she was wearing a black-and-white tweed cape coat, black knee-high boots, and black pantyhose. Her daughter (in her 20s): Long, distinctly curly blonde hair. She was wearing a brown plush (fur) jacket and high-heeled knee-high boots.
A Gloucestershire Police spokesperson appealed to the British public, saying, "Although the photos are not very clear, if anyone recognizes these two women from their clothing, hair, or stance, we kindly ask you to contact us immediately through our website with the tip code 53260012005."
