Gardaí Investigate School Girl Fight Video

Gardaí in Co Cork are investigating after a video that shows two teenage girls fighting while surrounded by a group of up to 50 other teenagers, appeared on the internet.

The footage, which was shot on a mobile phone, was uploaded on Wednesday and has already been viewed several thousand times.

Three teenage girls have been suspended while their school carries out an investigation into the fight, which happened outside school hours.

The footage, which lasts for just under three minutes, shows two first year girls as young as 12 and 13 hitting and punching each other on the ground while being cheered on by bystanders.

The fight is understood to have been pre-arranged and over a teenage boy.
