The horrific attack comes after a schoolgirl was beaten up and dragged unconscious by a group of teenage thugs in a park after she was targeted at a bus stop and led to a field.

Hope Lyden, 13, was filmed being punched and kicked by several girls, who used "her head as a football" in Erskine, Scotland. She was later found with "clumps of her hair pulled from her skull."

Hope was pounced on as she stood chatting to her pal at a bus stop on Friday night. Her mother Katrina explained that she was approached by a random girl who began to pick a fight. The girl accused her of speaking about her before another girl approached her and said she would help her "get away". But as they reached a nearby field, Hope suffered a sudden blow to the back of her head - leaving her unconscious.


Sickening footage, which has since gone viral online, showed three girls beating her after she was knocked to the ground. Dozens of onlookers could be heard laughing as they stood filming the incident on their phones.

Katrina, 37, from Clydebank, told the Daily Record: "Hope phoned me and all I could hear was her screaming. She was frantic. It was horrific. I could hear the kicks and thuds.

"She screamed again, but then there was nothing else from her. I could hear loads of girls' voices but couldn't make out what they were saying. I eventually managed to get to speak to one of Hope's friends who told me there was a group of girls laying into her and that she looked unconscious."

Hope was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where she was treated for concussion, a suspected broken nose and a burst mouth. The horrifying incident has since been reported to Police Scotland, who confirmed an investigation has been launched.
