TWO schoolgirls have been suspended today after children filmed a brutal bully attack on another teenage pupil.
Other pupils in their school shared the shocking footage of the playing field attack and it was then shown to their teachers.

The video shows a crowd of children in uniform as they surround the schoolgirl and watch as her hair is pulled.
She is then dragged to the ground, repeatedly punched in the face, kneed in the head and kicked in the face.
The crowd allegedly shouts encouragement to the attacker, including ‘Go on’ and ‘Kill her’ near the school in Barry, South Wales.
Finally the assault ends and the 14-year-old schoolgirl scrambles to her feet and bravely walks away with a friend.
Hywel Price, headmaster of Bro Morgannwg Welsh School, a Welsh-language comprehensive school in Barry has excluded two girls from classes as an investigation is carried out.
In a statement to parents, guardians and pupils, Mr Price hit out at the attack after school in Butts Field in Barry.
