A 14 year old Benton Harbor girl is at home recovering after she was attacked by a gang of other girls Tuesday. Michigan State Police Detective Mike Logan says the girl was walking home from school and being followed by the group of other girls. A fight broke out between her and one other girl, and then the rest of them jumped in. Logan says he was shocked when he saw the video uploaded to Facebook.

“It’s disturbing,” Logan told WSJM. “This is 2016, and you have 14 and 15 year old young girls not only fighting, which is and of itself is wrong, but fighting over statements made by a young man, a boy.”

The victim was taken to Lakeland Medical Center to be treated for cuts to her face and arms. Logan says she plans to return to school. While there haven’t yet been any arrests, Logan says police have identified some of the girls in the video as part of the investigation.
