Up to ten people jumped then piled on the poor girl.
The victim suffered a bad concussion, and severe bruising from the assault according to a source close to the teen.
She was rushed to Temple Street Children's Hospital where she was treated for her injuries.
"She’s okay now, she’s bruised and lumps all over her head, her eye is swollen and her neck is very sore," she said.
"They took lumps of her hair out. They gave her a bad concussion - but it could have been a lot worse.
"The family just wants to get this out. We can’t believe it happened.
"It’s a horrible world out there."
