Two teenage girls are beaten up and humiliated in a sickening bullying video filmed in Birmingham which has been widely shared across social media.

The clip, captured on a mobile phone, shows the two 14-year-olds being assaulted by bullies in Hilary Grove in the Northfield area of the city on Saturday night.

Police said the grainy footage, which was shared on Facebook, has been viewed more than six million times. They intend to arrest two females suspected of being behind the abuse.

In the unprovoked attack, a gang forces the two girls on to their knees to apologise for “giving dirty looks”, before one is shoved to the ground and assaulted, while their handbags are thrown into the middle of a busy road.

Police say the public response to the video has been overwhelming, with many people contacting them to identify the assailants.

Police have already spoken to two of the group involved, including the male youth who filmed the incident, and they plan to arrest two female offenders suspected of carrying out the attack.

“The response from members of the public, clearly disgusted by what they’ve seen online, has been overwhelming and we’ve had lots of people getting in touch to provide names of those responsible,” said Inspector John Askew from Birmingham South Police.

“We have identified the two main suspects and plans are in place for one of the girls, a 16-year-old, to attend a police station for questioning later today.

"We understand the other main suspect is out of the country on holiday but we will speak to her upon her return.

“I would like to reassure everyone this is being treated very seriously and that the enquiry is progressing. Under no circumstances should anyone take matters into their own hands as this could leave them liable to prosecution themselves.”

DS Dean Gordon, of Birmingham Police, said: “The violence shown against these two girls is completely unacceptable. We will not tolerate this kind of bullying and those involved will be brought to justice.”
