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

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

The pair then proceed to stamp on as well as punch and kick the girl on the floor as she tries to protect her head with her hands. 

After stopping for a few seconds to say something to the girl, who is now sitting upright, the two attackers deal a final flurry of kicks and then walk off. 

Leicestershire Police said they have seen the video and have begun enquiries into the incident. The force said officers will be speaking to those involved.

The video was posted to Twitter by user @Deanceejay13 with the caption: ‘This happened to my younger step sister this weekend… wouldnt say boo to a ghost yet pissed up girls in the park jumped her???? Everyone share this please.’

A second video, posted in reply to the first, was filmed a few moments after the initial incident, which shows the same three girls as well as an older woman involved in another brawl. 

The woman, who is claimed to be the victim’s mother, can be seen pulling 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 one man attempting to separate the two girls as they continue to exchange blows and people can be heard repeatedly saying ‘stop’.

The fighting eventually ends after another man puts himself in between the two girls and another woman can be seen leading the mother away. 

Twitter user @Deanceejay13, who is also the step-brother of the girl who was attacked, told MailOnline: ‘On Saturday evening the victim was alone in a park where she arranged to see her friends.

‘Shortly afterward, she was then blindside and brutally attacked by two local girls. These girls set about their attack by stomping and kicking the victim multiple times whilst laughing, spiting and shouting abuse.

‘Onlookers watched, encouraged and video recorded the brutality with not one person coming to the victims aid.’

He added: ‘More needs to be done to protect and prevent, in an age where social media can be used for so much wrong. 

‘The family hopes that the people are held responsible, the attackers the bystanders and let’s not forget the person watching, laughing and videoing. 

He added: ‘Injuries that were sustained: Head injuries multiple places Hand injuries Bruises on hand, back, arms, legs Cuts and grazes, knees, head, shoulder, thighs.
