Two women came down to blows in a German town over a mound of dog poo with their cat fight escalating into a brawl involving five people, leaving them with serious wounds, swollen arms and ripped out hair.
The fight broke out when a dog belonging to a 32-year-old woman did its business in a local park in Bergisch Gladbach in North Rhine-Westphalia.
A 33-year-old female passer-by, seeing the dog's owner walk on, demanded that she clean up her dog's mess, police said.
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, Die Welt reported.
But that was not 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 was quoted as saying by The Local.

This is not the first time this year that enraged Germans have made headlines with an act of protest against dog poo.
In April, locals in Einbeck, Lower Saxony, gathered 250 kg of dogs' leavings from the town's parks and hung it round the neck of a famous local statue in protest against lazy owners.
