The video comes on the heels of a violent fight at a McDonaldโ€™s in New York City that has resulted in arrests. The latest recording shows a 14-year-old girl being pummeled first by one girl and then her friend, both of whom kick and drag her by the hair into the street amid a boisterous crowd outside Homestead Middle School. The news station notes that the fight only stops when a man breaks it up.

A relative of the victim told CBS that the 14-year-old and her mother reported the incident to Miami-Dade School Police and are pressing charges. The victim and the suspects were all suspended, he tells the station.

โ€œThe principal actually suspended her, saying she participated,โ€ the man, who asked not to be named, told the station. โ€œShe shouldโ€™ve got on the ground and balled up in a ball. When she was on the ground, they were kicking her in the head and stomping on her,โ€ he said.

A district representative said that the victimโ€™s suspension was later overturned but told the station that the girlโ€™s family wants much more than that.

โ€œThe girls didnโ€™t even get kicked out of school. Theyโ€™re still in school, when they said they would kick them out,โ€ the male relative told the station.
