Bikini-Clad Attackers Gang Up On Woman In Disturbing Video, Cops Say

The beating left the victim with serious injuries.

They weren't just there to work on their tans.

Three bikini-clad women who allegedly beat up another woman by a river in South Carolina have been arrested, police announced Monday.

Video  appears to show the suspects pummeling the victim as she lay on the ground.

"Seeing the aftermath was just insane: the way that she had blood all over her face, two black eyes, you can tell that she's completely messed up in the face,” Ramy Williams, a friend of the victim, told WIS-TV.

 

Arlinda Craft, 18, Anns Leigh Hill, 19, and Megan Williams, 20, were charged with second degree assault and battery by a mob , Columbia Police said.

"It definitely could have killed her ," Williams told WIS-TV.
