Three teenagers – the youngest just 13 years old – were set to appear in front of Birmingham Magistrates this morning after being charged in relation to a serious assault on a 15 year old girl.
The violent attack took place in Inglemere Grove, off Shenley Lane, in Weoley Castle at around 7pm on Wednesday (25th April).
The following day, footage of the incident was widely shared on social media, showing a group of other teens repeatedly kicking and punching the girl, including in the face and head, while recording on mobile phones.
Police arrested two girls (15 and 16) and a boy (13). The trio were last night charged with attempting to cause grevious bodily harm and were remanded in custody to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court this morning (Saturday 28 April).
