Shocking footage has captured the moment a dad was violently beaten a gang of kids after trying to rescue his son from a school fight .

The man is seen with a bloodied nose as he's cornered by several young males , while others film the scene on their smartohones.

One of the kids yells in his face: "What now?" to which the father replies: "I thought they were jumping in on him. What would you do if it was your kid?"

After more shouting and expletives, a boy in a light blue t-shirt shoves the man and begins punching him.

Other youngsters immediately leap on top of the dad to join in on the attack until a large gang are punching and kicking him.

A female can be heard screaming loudly as she watches the scene in horror.

After almost a minute, where the father is kicked in the head, the fight comes to a stop and the man stumbles to his car in a bid to escape the scene.

It appears that the clip was filmed in the US although the exact location is not clear.

It is not clear whether the man or his son were left with lasting injuries after the fight, or whether the police were later involved.
