The video which was posted on Facebook has since been viewed more than 120,000 times and has been met with outrage.

Paige Lehan said: "Cannot believe how disgusting girls are nowadays it sickens me it really does and although videoing it is vile as well at least there is evidence to take to the police."

Michelle Symons said: "That bully deserve some of her own medicine, loud mouth chav.

"The video should be shown to the police if the school isn't doing anything about the girl, I expect her parents are just as bad as her."

Kent Police spokesman Scarlet Jones said: "Police are investigating a report of an incident which occurred at around 2.30pm on April 29 in Westwood Road, Broadstairs in which a teenage schoolgirl was assaulted.

"She sustained bruising and a broken tooth."
