Two women have been charged after a fight over toilet paper broke out at a Sydney supermarket, prompting police to issue reminders the spread of coronavirus has not created a Mad Max-esque dystopia.
A video of the incident went viral on social media and showed a group of women yelling and fighting over a packet of toilet paper amid panic buying. The video shows one woman pulling the hair of another during the heated altercation at a Woolworths store in Chullora on Saturday morning.A 49-year-old woman, who had allegedly been assaulted, was not injured.
Two other women, aged 23 and 60, have been charged with affray and will appear in Bankstown Local Court on 28 April.
I am in defence of the woman who just 'wanted one pack' of toilet paper. The person who had a trolley full of it was so selfish! However, the assault was unacceptable. They are acting like wild animals!
The whole world is laughing at Australia you’re embarrassing yourselves fighting over toilet paper. Jesus Christ
They will look back on this in the future and hang their heads in shame. Maybe making them clean public toilets for a few months would be good choice for the judge to help them change their ways. Greed is the root of all evil!
These idiots are making Australia look like a laughing stock across the world.
They have both a-‘ply’-ed for bail ....Oh god did I just do that?
OMG
'What you in for?' 'She tried to take my toilet paper. I said no, not 1 pack' 😂
MSMWatchdog2013 If you believe the morons over at MadFckingWitch ... these people are the real victims.
Good to hear that DPP is acting for the public
Good.
Morons
Seriously? 😒
MSMWatchdog2013 Guy from Hobart who was non compliant with public health quarantine instructions should also face the court with possible deportation orders once he is well . Not like he has a punch up over toilet paper .
How embarrassing for them!
Will toilet paper replace money soon
What a disgusting waste of police and court time.
Are we ready
They’re going to be the least hard crims in the dock that day. Would you even tell someone you got nicked for a fight over dunny roll?
Meanwhile, in Australia...
Good. That behaviour was heckn embarrassing.
Mad shits.
