Two female inmates at a German prison have been served a hefty fine for a brawl that began with a food fight.

German news agency DPA reported Wednesday that the cellmates at a prison in Augsburg began throwing potato mash at each other following a disagreement. Then one woman threw her entire plate at the other, who responded in kind.


The situation then escalated into a brawl in which both inmates were injured, dpa reported.
