Snapchat video shows girl dragged and battered by bullies

A schoolgirl who was brutally assaulted by a gang of bullies who ambushed her as she walked to a sleepover was forced to relive the trauma all over again when the attack was shared on Snapchat.



Happy-go-lucky Libby Brierley, 14, was walking to a friends in her dressing gown when she was pounced on by four girls who grabbed her from behind and savagely rained punches down on her face.



Shocking video of the assault shows one girl yank the unsuspecting girl's ponytail and haul her to the ground before repeatedly smashing her in the face.



The frightened schoolgirl can be heard squealing for help as the bully continues to punch her head and body.



Miss Brierley suffered concussion and serious bruises and spent the night at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham after the attack.



She was assaulted while she walked to a friend's house for a sleepover in Bilborough, Nottingham, on September 2 last year.
