Horrific video footage has shown a group of school age teens attacking a train guard at Formby station.
In a jaw dropping and sickening clip shared online, a gang of vile youths shouting “do him now” were seen chasing and attacking a train station security guard.
He ended up fleeing and hiding in a bathroom during the horrifying attack which took place on Formby station platform.
The teenagers, understood to be from Liverpool, are heard cackling and rejoicing as a female off camera screams “oh my god, they’re f*****g legging it”.
Another one of the teens shouts “do him now” as they ran after the guard towards the station’s raised entrance.
The gang eventually backs the security guard into a corner at the station entrance where they attempt to kick him again.
Both staff members eventually managed to secure themselves behind a locked door, it is understood
The sickening attack happened on Sunday evening, and British Transport Police has since condemned the violence.
Superintendent David Rams, of the force, said: “This is completely unacceptable and I will make sure an investigation is launched.
“It isn’t a police officer it is a member of security. Still appalling behaviour.”
A spokesperson for British Transport Police (BTP) said today enquiries remain ongoing into this incident. Merseyside Police also said BTP have launched an investigation with their “support” and confirmed the individuals in the video were rail staff and not a police officer.
A spokesperson for BTP told Liverpool Echo: “British Transport Police received a report at 7.37pm on Sunday, April 3 of a rail staff assault at Formby railway station.
“We are aware of footage showing this incident being circulated on social media and enquiries remain ongoing.
