Some of the children filmed the savage attack close to Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre in Bispham Road around 3.30pm yesterday, with the video circulated on social media.
The incident involved around 30 teenagers who reportedly formed a circle around the frightened child after she tried to escape, as another girl pummeled her to the ground.
She was rescued by a member of the public who witnessed the assault and ordered the youths - reportedly wearing Montgomery Academy uniforms - to leave the girl alone. They backed off and the girl was able to get away and make her way home.
Her mum, posting on Facebook, said she was ‘absolutely livid’ and would be reporting the incident to the school.
She said she was ‘disgusted’ and ‘fuming’ after her daughter came running home with a ‘big lump on her head’.
A number of people who witnessed the incident commented on the Facebook post saying they were ‘shocked’ by the bullies’ behavior.
