This is the horrific moment two schoolgirls viciously kick and punch a defenceless teenager as she cowers on the ground.
Video shows the victim being repeatedly stamped on and dragged by her hair as she walked through a park with a friend in Sheldon, Birmingham, at around 7.30pm on June 13.
The girl’s mother – who obtained the footage and shared it on social media – said her daughter was targeted after ‘looking in the direction’ of the attackers, who confronted her and asked if she had ‘beef’.

She was left with a ‘trainer-shaped bruise’ on her face and a ‘bald patch’ on the back of her head from where the girls allegedly tore out clumps of hair.
The 14-year-old is now ‘terrified’ to go outside and struggles to eat or sleep following the attack.
Police have arrested two girls, aged 12 and 13, on suspicion of assault and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
A 24-second clip of the attack – which has no sound – shows the victim sat helpless on a footpath as she is repeatedly kicked in the body by two girls.
The attackers then grab and yank her hair before punching her in the face.

One of the girls stamps on her back before the other bully drags her along the path by her hair.
They continue to beat her before a boy and a girl eventually intervene and stop the violence.
The victim’s mother, who asked to remain anonymous, said her daughter was walking through the park with a friend when the girls approached and asked if they ‘had beef’.
Her daughter said ‘no’ and tried to leave but was attacked as she was walking away, according to the mother.
She said: ‘She’s never seen the girls before, they don’t live round here. All she did was look in their direction. She said to me afterwards: ‘Mom, I knew straight away from the way they were looking at us. I knew something bad was about to happen.’
‘They may be younger than my daughter but they were very tall for their age and they gave her absolutely no chance to defend herself. She didn’t have a hope in hell.

‘She didn’t provoke them in any way, she didn’t say anything to them.
‘She had a trainer stamp mark on her head for days afterwards. Her cheek is still really bruised and swollen. One of her eyes closed up and she has a bald patch on the back of her head.
‘She’s not eating, she’s not sleeping, and she’s terrified to outside – she just starts crying.
‘I feel guilty that I wasn’t there. She’s my first-born and my job’s to protect her. I don’t understand why it happened to her, she’s never done anything to anyone. She’s never been in trouble.’

The victim and her friend are due to give a statement to police on Sunday.

‘The girls, aged 12 and 13, were held over the assault which saw one teen left with facial injuries and bruising, and another girl threatened.
