Gardaí have launched an investigation into the incident which took place within the confines of Longford Shopping Centre car park shortly before 8pm last night.
Video footage of the violent incident shows one woman hurl a series of taunts at two other women who can be seen standing inside the doors of the shopping centre.

Moments later the two women who were standing inside appear before a violent row breaks out.
One of the women, wearing a pink t-shirt and black shorts can be seen suddenly grabbing a woman by the hair and throwing her to the ground.
Despite the attempts of a man standing off camera to diffuse the situation, the two women fall to the ground while violently pulling and dragging at each other's hair in open public.
The Irish Mirror understands the incident is linked to an ongoing feud involving two rival families.
Gardaí have since confirmed an investigation into the circumstances behind last night's incident is now underway.
"Gardaí responded to a report of a public order incident that occurred outside a retail premises in Longford town at approximately 7:45pm yesterday, Wednesday 3rd May 2023," said a garda spokesperson.
"No arrests have been made at this time. Enquiries are ongoing."
