Moment street brawl erupts next to crashed £106k BMW as women yank each other's hair in front of horrified onlookers
THIS is the moment a violent street brawl erupts next to a crashed BMW as two women yank each other's hair in front of horrified onlookers. The crashed BMW i8 - worth £106k - could be seen with its doors wide open as bystanders watched the shocking scenes unfold on a busy London road. 3 3 The car crash sparked a dramatic street brawl between two women with one shouting at the other before pulling her by her hair in the street. The appalling bust-up is understood to have taken place outside the Earl of Camden pub in Camden, North London on June 19. The scuffle broke out after a luxury BMW sports car reportedly ploughed into a parked motor. Swerving right, the vehicle then came to a halt at the crossroads of Parkway and Albert St. The BMW is visibly damaged with debris littering the road as the violence ensued. One shocked witness said that the row erupted after two women reportedly mocked the BMW driver's skills. A woman passenger then exited the vehicle and confronted the pair in a rage. Two bystanders on the street then stepped in to try and break up the unfolding violence. And a man, who appears to have been driving the BMW, can be seen jumping out the motor and joining the fray. Horrified onlookers can be seen watching the drama unfold and recording the incident on their phones. Cem Ozmand, 30, told the Mail: "There were no injuries. "Police came ten minutes later and questioned the driver and his partner." A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "Officers responded to reports of an altercation following a damage-only road traffic collision in Parkway, Camden at 3.36pm on Thursday, June 19. "Police spoke to a 19-year-old woman following an allegation she assaulted the other driver. "The incident was resolved using a community resolution order - a process in which reparations are made following the agreement of the victim. "No one was arrested and the matter was closed." The shocking incident follows another moment of road rage when a furious driver headbutted a van's window and launched into a furious rant earlier this month. In incredible footage, the hot-headed driver can be seen with his face close to the driver-side window of the other van, shouting at the motorist. As other frustrated motorists begin to blare their horns, it appears to set the angered van driver off, inspiring him to smack his head against the other van's window. And in May, a man stormed onto a bus to confront the driver who he said crashed into his car.
