Brutal footage shows gang of girls batter teen with HOCKEY STICKS
Jamie Doran, 15, has to face two of his attackers every day with his bullies telling him they are 'out to get him'
A TEENAGER attacked by a gang of girls and boys with hockey sticks has been threatened that they are "out to get him".
Jamie Doran was left covered in bruises after a ten-strong gang attacked him - with the entire incident caught on camera. He is now having to endure the daily ordeal of facing his abusers in the school playground.
Jamie, 15, had been planning to go climbing with two friends near his house in Newmarket, Suffolk, when the bullies cornered him about 6pm on August 12.
The young boy, who aspires to be a soldier, said the group insisted he fight them before he managed to run off, with the bullies then cornering him on a field near his school, the Newmarket Academy.
He said: "Someone came running at me and I threw them to the ground and that's when the girls and other boys got involved.
"It was pretty scary. I was more angry at the fact that they had the nerve to do this.
"They started running after me. Someone picked up a stick and they started chasing me around the field. One of the girls grabbed me and started pulling me towards the others."
He said one of the bullies lost her grip, with the victim then scrambling to get away.
He said: "I managed to get away but someone came from behind me and made me fall over.
"No one took advantage at this point and I started running away. Then one of the girls came and took me to the ground, got on top of my head and started punching me in the face.
"At the same time a boy started hitting me with the hockey stick.
"One of them tried to hit me with a glass bottle as well but my friend stopped them.
"I had broken my wrist earlier in the year and had just had the cast off so when they hit it I cried out in pain."

He explained that the group didn't like him because he worked in a nursery and claims they falsely branded him a paedophile.
The gang of bullies were eventually pulled of the young man when onlookers came to help.
The bullying incident was reported to Suffolk police on August 21 but Jamie and his mother have since said their response has been "minimal".
His mother Karen Doran said: "He acts like it doesn't affect him but it has. It does when he is sleeping. Mentally he is quite different. He won't admit it but it definitely has messed him up."
The mother-of-five blasted the police, saying her son needed more support.
The 34-year-old said: "He has not even had victim support. These kids need dealing with because at the moment they have got away with it."
She said as she suffers from fibromyalgia, which affects her mobility, was unable to pick him up and he had to walk 20 minutes home alone.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said: ";Police were contacted on August 21 about an incident that had occurred on August 12.
"Officers have made a number of enquiries and have identified those involved. Work is ongoing with the school to progress the matter."
Nick Froy, principal of Newmarket Academy, said: "While the incident did not happen on school grounds or during school time, we are aware of the video and we have made it clear that we will offer any support to the police to help with their investigation.
"Newmarket Academy has a zero tolerance policy on bullying and violence of any kind."
Anyone with information should call Suffolk police on 101.
