A YOUNG girl was left needing hospital treatment following an attack on her by a group of girls.

The incident occurred outside Asda's Queensferry store on Tuesday at about 10pm.

It saw a gang of three girls repeatedly punch and kick 15-year-old girl - who has since been taken to hospital after she started feeling unwell on Wednesday morning.

A video of the incident has been widely circulated on social media and the victim's father was shocked to see the footage.

He told the Leader: "Having to watch my daughter get beaten by a pack of wild eyed girls was one of the worst and most sickening feelings I have ever experienced.

"There needs to be some sort of consequence for these actions or these kids will do it again."

And the girl's father says a similar incident involving the same girl is said to have taken place just a week earlier.

Tuesday's incident has been reported to North Wales Police, which is investigating.

A spokesperson for the force said: "A report was made at 8.10am today (Wednesday) that a teenage girl had been assaulted near Asda in Queensferry by three other teenage girls."

Anyone with information relating to this incident can call police on 101 quoting reference number Y100564.
