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.

"Officers from the Leicestershire Police are aware of this video, are carrying out further inquiries into the incident, and will speak to those involved. We would ask anyone with information about the incident to contact us, quoting reference 23*392390," tweeted the Police department.

"Why are the police not involved? I hope your step sister was checked out at the hospital. She took a lot of blows there, wish her well," commented a user.
