A 14-year-old girl was treated in hospital for concussion after she was beaten up by a group of teenagers at the beach.
Mobile phone footage of the attack has now been shared on social media, which shows a group of other girls attacking the Bootle teen.
The incident happened yesterday ( Wednesday) afternoon on Crosby beach, when the schoolgirl was apparently set upon for no reason.
A relative of the victim spoke to the ECHO about the attack.
She said: " She went to Crosby beach with a couple of friends and was then attacked by a group of girls and boys. She was punched and kicked during the attack.
"The group that attacked her had been drinking spirits. They poured vodka on her head and face.
"Some of them filmed the attack on their phones and posted it on social media last night.
"I took her to Alder Hey after the attack where she was treated for concussion. We think she was knocked out.
"She was discharged during the early hours of the morning. We were told to keep an eye on her.
"The attack was unprovoked and we have reported it to police."
