Huge transsexual prostitute brawl sees hundred-strong 'ladyboy' mob fighting in Bangkok turf war, with escorts clambering over each other to tear off rivals' clothes and throw punches
This is the astonishing moment police were caught up in a mass brawl between Filipino transgender prostitutes and Thai ladyboys over a turf war in Bangkok's red light district.
Officers were called on Monday night when more than 100 local sex workers converged on a hotel being used by sex workers from the Philippines on the city's Sukhumvit Road, part of a sprawling area of gogo bars, street workers and massage parlours.
Footage shows how the first sex worker was dragged from the Citin Sukhumvit 11 hotel, accused of being part of a group that clashed with the locals and stole their customers the night before.
However, the local ladyboys erupted in fury when they saw their alleged attackers - sparking chaotic scenes that escalated into a mass brawl.
In the video, stilettos fly as local transgender women are seen hitting police, climbing on buildings, stamping on other girls, throwing objects, and even having their clothes torn off.
