Distressing video footage has emerged of a young girl being forced into a fight before being viciously assaulted as a group of teenagers look on.
The clip recorded in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, shows a crowd jeering as one girl is pulled to the ground by her hair before being repeatedly punched in the head.
The video has since amassed tens of thousands of views after being posted on social media and police have launched an investigation.
The assault shows a girl being followed by another with blonde hair.
The attacker tries to goad the girl into fighting her but she refuses and attempts to walk away.
From the footage, it appears the two had intended to fight but the alleged victim says she 'is not bothered' as the attacker replies 'look how much f****ng s**t you are going to get yourself into.'
At one point, the alleged victim appears to say she has 'lost' but is told to say it louder for the crowd to hear.
After several horrifying minutes a woman drags the girl away from the crowd.
The footage was uploaded to Facebook and has prompted fury from social media users.
The Facebook user who posted it wrote: 'Everyone share this and let it get seen to everyone! hate bullies but this is nasty, no one should get told to say things and make them look so low, making them fight is disgusting.'
The video has since been viewed more than 700,000 times since it was posted on April 26.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: 'Police have issued warnings and given educational advice to two teenage girls following reports of an altercation in Doncaster.
'The incident is said to have taken place on Wednesday 26 April at a park in the Woodlands area.
'A number of other young people were also present. No one was seriously injured during the incident.'
Writing on Facebook, Claire Sivewright said: 'This is shocking. poor girl was clearly scared. Parents must be proud as anything (sic).'
Another user, Princessemily Chanel wrote: 'I feel so sorry for that poor girl vile bullies want a good slap.'
Nat Mooncat said: 'This makes me physically sick I went through a similar traumatic experience in my teens I am now 47 and still traumatised to this day by it. The crowd and the girl needs to be arrested.'
