Sickening footage shows the moment a group of teenagers attacked a pair of Glasgow schoolgirls.

The vicious attack involving Holyrood Secondary School students happened at lunchtime on Monday off school grounds and the video was shared by the mother of one of the victims.

Two 15-year-old girls have been charged with serious assault in connection with the incident.

The two victims were helplessly on the ground during the much of the lunchtime attack

The footage begins with several teenage girls punching two other girls to the floor in what appears to be cafe or dining area, away from school premises.

The girls are then pulled by their hair across the floor while still being punched.

One pupil tries to help the girls back to their feet but they are pushed back to the ground and then the thugs punch the girl trying to help.

The footage ends with one of the attackers throwing a chair which had been launched at them.

After sharing the footage, the mother of one of the schoolgirls claimed the brawl had been been sparked by a row over a boy and then her daughter was attacked when she dropped £5.

The video was posted online by a victim’s mother who said the fight started because of a disagreement over a boy. Right, at one point a chair was hurled into the brawl 

The victim’s mother claimed in her post that the school had not told her of the violent attack that day, or that her daughter had missed half a school day because of the ordeal.

She added that even though the attack was not on school grounds, she was angry that contact had not been made by the school and that she had not been called in for a meeting.

The mother confirmed her daughter was fine, saying that she had ‘had harder hits from her 3-year-old sister’.

She branded Holyrood Secondary School a ‘shambles’ and claimed that her daughter was on a waiting list for another school. 

A Police Scotland spokesperson told the Daily Record: ‘Two 15-year-old girls have been arrested and charged in connection with a serious assault on a 15-year-old girl on Cathcart Road around 1.30pm on Monday, 31 January.

‘They were released on an undertaking to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date. A report will be forwarded to the Procurator Fiscal.

‘The injured girl was taken to hospital then later released.’

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman told MailOnline: ‘The school is helping police with their ongoing investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment on a live case.’
