A teenage girl was allegedly punched, kicked and kneed by two other girls in a “prolonged assault” in Canberra.
Footage of the alleged “forcible confinement and prolonged, violent assault” was given to police after they were directed toward an injured girl near a fast food restaurant in a northern suburb yesterday.
She suffered multiple injuries and was taken to hospital, while police arrested two girls – aged 11 and 14 – in their homes.
“The video showed two girls confining the third girl, before they repeatedly punched, kicked and kneed the girl,” ACT Police said in a statement.
They allegedly threatened the girl with further violence if she came forward about the attack.

They will face ACT Children’s Court later today.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
