A Wisconsin woman was busted this week for instigating a brawl between two 8-year-old boys — socking one of them in the process, according to a report.

The bizarre incident unfolded at 5 p.m. Sunday when the two boys had a skirmish, but then went their respective ways home after the fight, witnesses told police, according to the Journal Times.

Following the fight, Marlo Thomas, 49 who lives on the same block as the boys, then allegedly went to one of the boy’s homes and dragged him down the block to continue to fight the other child, The Journal Times reported.

Police say Thomas punched the other boy in the ear, knocking him over to let the other youngster get on top of him and hit him.

The victim was left with a bloodied ear and scratches to his face, cheeks and neck, according to the report.

Thomas, of Racine, was arrested and charged Monday with felony counts of forceful abduction of a child and physical abuse of a child causing injury, along with a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a child, the outlet reported.

Thomas was being held in the Racine County Jail on a $500 bail.

She faces up to 25 years in prison and a $100,000 fine if convicted on the most serious charge.
