This is the moment two women came to blows at a children's fun fair after the owner of a coconut shy accused the player of cheating.

The young woman in a black dress thought she had won a cuddly bear after knocking three tin cups off the wooden shelf at the carnival in Samut Prakan, Thailand, on Saturday (3/11) night.

But the stall owner refused to hand over the prize and accused the customer of cheating - by tampering with the metal cups by moving them towards the back of the self when her back was turned.

Footage shows how the stall owner punched the woman, who has not been identified, in the face with a plastic ball, then stormed after her and angrily pushed her.

The woman responded by grabbing a ball and demonstrating again how she successfully knocked over the three cans. However, she was still denied a prize and walked away empty-handed.

Speaking in local media after the incident, the stall owner, Nong Fon, 28, said that the player had ''cheated'' by moving the cups after paying 50 baht (1.17gbp) for three goes.

She said: ''I saw her pick up the tin cans and put them at the back of the shelf. This is cheating. It's easier to knock them down.

''There is a red line that men have to stand behind when they play the game, but girls can move closer. She was leaning forward a long way but that is not why I was angry.

''I put the cans at the front and she moved them to the back. I will not give a prize if they do this.''

The woman in the black dress denied a prize after being accused of cheating has not responded, after she walked away following the incident
