The playground jungle: Mother posts footage of son being attacked by 20 other children - and claims teachers did NOTHING to stop it

A secondary school pupil was beaten in a vicious assault by fellow pupils in a playground as children screamed in the background.

Disturbing footage was shared online by the furious mother of the victim, whose son was punched repeatedly about the head and body in the fight, which involved around 20 students.

In her post she wrote: 'This is what my son has to go through' and claimed staff did nothing to intervene.

Screaming can be heard in the background while one pupil shouts 'You want some? Make you blud'.

It is understood the attack took place at the Phoenix Collegiate Academy in West Bromwich and was only ended when another pupil, who stands out from the crowd in a red shirt, steps in to protect the victim.

West Midlands Police are investigating and have confirmed received a report of an alleged assault at the school.
