Two 14-year-old girls voluntarily interviewed after girl videoed being attacked in Chorley
Both girls have since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Lancashire Police have confirmed that two 14-year-old girls have attended for voluntary interviews regarding a horrific bullying video which had been circulated on Facebook.
The video, which was posted on Facebook last month, shows a frightened 14-year-old girl being set upon by a gang of other girls whilst male youths in the background egg the perpetrators on by laughing, whilst recording it, and telling them to “keep going”.
The incident, which took place outside Arnold & Phillips Estate Agents in Chorley last Friday evening, shows the girl being repeatedly punched and dragged to the ground before being kicked.
Lancashire Police said at the time: “We were made aware of an assault in the Cleveland Street area of Chorley, at around 8.30pm on 25th September.
“It was reported that a 14-year-old girl was assaulted by three other teenage girls, with other youths also in attendance.
“Enquiries are ongoing, and we’re asking for anyone with information to get in touch.”
Lancashire Police also confirmed that both girls have since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Anyone with information or footage that can assist is asked to call 101 quoting 1363 of 25th September.
