Two teenage girls were filmed repeatedly kicking a boy in the head after he stepped in to question why they were allegedly bullying his autistic friend.

Jake Andrews, 14, said he saw them picking on his friend and got involved.

His friend, who filmed the encounter, captured how they reacted by grabbing an arm each before one shouts, ‘f***ing hit him’. Then they kick him in the face with shocking force.

Despite his attempts to shrug the girls off, they continue to land punches on his face and stomach.


The video, which was filmed in Emersons Green, Bristol, then shows one of the bullies delving into the boy’s pockets and apparently trying to grab his phone.

‘Why are you touching my phone?, he asks, and one of the girls responds: ‘Because you’re f***ing videoing me. Move it from my face.’



She then drags him to one side and throws him over a hedge, throwing her fists at him before shouting: ”F**ing hit me again and watch me get you killed.’

Law firm called out for celebrating ‘great win’ against special needs childrenThe boy, who only has one shoe on, backs away and says: ‘Yeah, cause I definitely hit you, didn’t I?’

The 18 second video, filmed on June 7, cuts out shortly after this. It been watched more than 600,000 times since it was posted online by Jake on Thursday.

He was left with marks on his forehead, scratches, lumps and a sore jaw and headache, and the police are involved.

But his proud mum Clare, 49, from Yate, praised her son for defending his friend and not retaliating.

Clare, a mum of four, said: ‘I think he put it on Facebook because he wanted to get the message out there that violent behaviour was just not acceptable.

Police officer dismissed for wearing a hat saying ‘I love weed’’We brought him up not to hit girls and the footage really shows that. As I mum I just could not watch it. I saw the first kick and I haven’t been able to see the rest of it.

‘It has been a very stressful time for us all and we are proud of him.’

It is understood the girls, aged 14 and 15, have been expelled from school.
