Security officers have launched an investigation into a distressing video that depicts two women punching and kicking a teenage girl repeatedly in a park in Leicestershire.
The video, which was uploaded to Twitter yesterday by Deano (@Deanceejay13), depicts two other females pushing a girl down in a park in Station Road, Ashby, on Saturday.
The Twitter user claimed in the caption that the girl was his younger step sister.
"This happened to my younger step sister this weekend... wouldn't say boo to a ghost, yet pissed-up girls in the park jumped her? Everyone, share this, please," he tweeted.
