Police investigate after video shows girl being repeatedly kicked and punched in a park

Police have launched an investigation after a video posted online showed a teenage girl being repeatedly kicked and punched by two women in a park.

The video, posted to Twitter yesterday, shows a girl being pushed to the ground by two other girls in a park in Station Road, Ashby, on Saturday.

The pair then proceed to stomp, punch and kick the girl to the ground as she tries to protect her head with her hands.

After stopping for a few seconds to speak to the victim, who is now sitting upright, the two attackers share one last set of kicks and then walk away.

Leicestershire Police said they have seen the video and are launching an investigation into the incident. Police said officers will speak to those involved.

The video, posted to Twitter yesterday, shows a girl being pushed to the ground by two other girls in a park in Station Road, Ashby, on Saturday.

The video was posted to Twitter by user @Deanceejay13 with the caption, “This happened to my younger stepsister this weekend…I wouldn’t boo a ghost but pissed off girls in the park jumped her???? Please share this all.’

A second video, posted in response to the first, was filmed moments after the first incident, showing the same three girls and an older woman involved in another brawl.

The woman, who is said to be the victim’s mother, pulls the hair of one of the girls as she continues to attack her daughter.

A number of other adults can also be seen in the video, with a man trying to break up the two girls as they continue to exchange blows and people can be heard saying “stop” repeatedly.

The fighting finally ends after another man places himself between the two girls and another woman leads the mother away.

Twitter user @Deanceejay13, who is also the stepbrother of the girl who was attacked, told MailOnline: ‘Saturday night the victim was alone in a park where she had an appointment with her friends.

Soon after, she was blinded and brutally attacked by two local girls. These girls launched their attack by stomping and kicking the victim multiple times while laughing, spitting and cursing.

“Onlookers watched, encouraged and filmed the violence, with not one person coming to the aid of the victim.”

The two girls stomp, hit and kick the girl to the ground as she tries to protect her head with her hands.

After stopping for a few seconds to speak to the girl, who is now sitting upright, the two attackers share one last set of kicks and then walk away.

He added: “More needs to be done to protect and prevent, at a time when social media can be used for so much evil.

“The family hopes that the people are held accountable, the attackers the bystanders and let’s not forget the watching, laughing and filming person.”

He added: ‘Injuries sustained: Head injuries in multiple places Hand injuries Contusions on hand, back, arms, legs Cuts and abrasions, knees, head, shoulder, thighs.

“It should be noted that these girls are still finding ways to send threats. I only appeal for information. If you have any information, please message the police: crime reference: 23*392390.’

Leicestershire Police said: ‘We are aware of a video posted online showing a teenage girl being attacked near Station Road, Ashby on Saturday (24 June).

“Investigations into the incident are continuing and officers from the North West Leicestershire Neighborhood Policing Area (NPA) will speak to those involved.

“Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact police, quoting reference 23*392390.”
