'Savage and uncaring' girls slammed over 'wig her now' fight video

Horrifying footage of a fight in playing fields has been branded 'vile' by ECHO readers.

The video shows scenes of a fight, believed to have happened close to New Brighton promenade on Friday, April 2.

It shows two girls, thought to be teenagers, fighting with each other as onlookers encourage them.

A girl with red hair drags the girl with blonde hair she is fighting with to the ground.

Footage then shows a third girl drag the blonde girl to the floor before she is kicked in the head by the other girl.

The video seems to end when the two attackers run off, leaving the blonde-haired girl on the floor.

Throughout the incident, onlookers can be heard egging them on with calls of "get her down" and "wig her now."

The article post on the ECHO Facebook page attracted more than 550 comments.

Commenting on Facebook, Pat Barrie said: "What is wrong with people these days so savage and uncaring no respect for anyone or anything disgusting."

Liam Doyle added: "The fist fighting, hair pulling and wrestling on the the ground is all unacceptable, but my heart is in my mouth when I see someone's head being kicked like a football, the risk of brain damage or a fatality is extremely high.

"Equally some deaths have occurred from even one punch in a street fight. I hope the girl is OK."

Debbie Kelly commented: "Absolutely vile behaviour by dragged up humans yet again!! These will be someone’s mum one day, (if not now) imagine your mum fighting on a field."

Kalarena Thomason said: "Disgusting and people egging them on and recording are no better, this is happening more and more and won't stop until someone gets hurt to the point they are no longer with us."
