She is heard referring to one the victim as "it" and encourages the attacker to "kick its c**t in."
She says: "Pull its hood, kick its c**t in! Pull it by its hood, that's it!"
"Drag it to the ground, to the ground, punch its face in.”
The victim is repeatedly kneed in the face and pulled to the ground before she then suffers a series of blows to her torso as the attacker grabs her hood and strikes her fists downwards.

Deborah Davidson, Education Manager at Fife Council, said: "I can confirm there was an incident at Kirkcaldy High School on Friday. This is now a police matter and therefore it'd be inappropriate for us to comment further.
"I would add that aggression and violence are not tolerated in any of our schools. Through our engagement with young people and families we continue to reinforce the impact and fallout of bullying and physical violence."
