Talinta Clarke and Tamara Kenyon were placed on good behaviour bonds after both pleaded guilty in court to affray charges stemming from the February 28 incident, which occurred in front of dozens of people, including children as young as 4.
Police documents tendered to Wollongong Local Court said Clarke and Kenyon were walking east along Crown Street in a drunken state when they got into a violent confrontation as they neared the WEC.
The pair began wrestling and punching each other while yelling and swearing, prompting witnesses to call triple zero requesting urgent police assistance.
Three fully marked police cars arrived on the scene a few minutes later, at which time officers saw Kenyon lying on her back and Clarke sitting on top of her, pulling her hair.
Clarke then grabbed Kenyon’s head, lifted it up and slammed it on to the concrete pathway multiple times, before kneeing her in the chest and punching her in the head.
Officers yelled at the women to stop and tried to drag them apart, prompting Kenyon to yell “what the f--k do you c--ts want...this has nothing to do with youse (sic)”.
The pair were repeatedly warned to stop swearing but continued abuse officers with foul language.
Police said when the pair was eventually subdued officers were approached by multiple people who complained about the women’s behaviour, in particularly the language they had been using.
“At the time of the brawl there were numerous families watching the incident, including children ranging from four years’ old through to adults,” the police statement said.
Both women were taken to Wollongong Police Station in separate paddy wagons and charged with affray and using offensive language.
They continued to abuse police while in custody, as well as yelling threats towards each other.
As part of their sentencing recently, the court also finalised separate apprehended violence orders prohibiting both women from going near each other within 12 hours of drinking alcohol or taking drugs.
