Visions shows the attackers targeting the girl’s head with stomps and kicks. The footage was later shared online.

The girl’s mother took her daughter to Ninewells Hospital following the incident for treatment.

The mother told STV News: “When she [my daughter] got through the door [at home], all I heard was screaming and it was one of the screams that you never want to hear.

“She was breaking her heart and told me she had been jumped. They were taking turns stamping on her head.

“We took her to the hospital last night. Her hair was all matted and the doctors checked her head because that is where she was kicked.”

The mother said the incident had left her “disgusted”.

“My daughter is now absolutely terrified,” she said. “She doesn’t want to leave the room without me. I feel absolutely disgusted that the attack was filmed.

“My family has been left in so much pain after this. It is going to take a long time for my daughter to get over this.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8.35pm on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, officers received a report of a girl having been assaulted at a park in Dundee.

“Enquiries are at an early stage.”
