Dispute between women over dog poo escalated into brawl

Two women came to blows over a mound of dog poo that escalated into a brawl involving five people.

The fight broke out on Sunday evening when a dog belonging to a 32-year-old woman did its business in a park in Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. A 33-year-old female passer-by, seeing the dog's owner walk on, demanded that she clean up her dog's mess, police reported.



When the woman refused a shouting match ensued. Before long the 33-year-old had thrown her keys at the dog owner and hit her on the head. At this point a passing man managed to separate the two women. But that wasn't the end of it. The dog owner returned a few minutes later with male reinforcements and once again things got violent.

By this point five people were involved in a full blown fist fight. One person was even using a club, police have revealed. According to town regulations in Bergisch Gladbach, not cleaning up dog poo can carry a fine of 30 euros. The police are also investigating serious bodily harm due to evidence of serious wounds, swollen arms and ripped out hair as a result of the fight.
