Startling footage has exposed a violent fight between two young teens while others stand around filming or egging the girls on.
The incident occurred early Tuesday morning between a Mackay State High School student and a St Patrick’s College student, prompting a police response.
Several videos, which have been posted on social media, shows the Mackay State High School teen repeatedly striking the St Patrick’s College student as she is on the ground screaming “help me” and then following after her as she was attempting to walk away.
Multiple other girls can be seen filming the fight with a mobile phone, while at least one onlooker is heard to say “bash her” and another is heard laughing.
Both girls are heard calling the other derogatory names.
It is understood there was a pre-arranged meet up between the two girls for the purpose of a fight.
The mothers of the two girls involved have cast blame on the other, each alleging their daughter was bullied by the other teen.
The mother of the Mackay State High School student claimed there was provocation of her daughter for about six weeks, with her daughter having allegedly understood he other teen was going to bring a knife to the meet up.
The mother of the St Patrick’s College student claims her daughter had been the victim of racial abuse.
She said her daughter had tried to back out of the meet up, but alleged the other girl threatened to go to her school if it did not happen.
In November 2022 a video of a teen fighting outside a Sarina pharmacy came to light and in March 2021 this publication exposed how violent fights between Mackay students were being uploaded to a private platform.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said Mackay police were aware of the latest incident but as of yet no formal complaint had been made.
A Department of Education spokeswoman said the school was aware of an incident on January 31 involving one of its students.
“The matter was referred to the Queensland Police Service,” she said.
“Fighting between any young people is a serious concern for schools, families and the broader community and is treated very seriously by schools.
“The school is applying consequences in line with the school’s Student Code of Conduct. This includes consequences for students found to be involved in filming the incident.
“It is important for families to work with schools to help adolescents safely engage with technology and navigate peer conflict.”
A St Patrick’s College spokeswoman referred this publication to a letter from the school’s principal Janelle Agiu sent to parents the day after the incident.
“I wish to advise that an incident occurred before the commencement of school yesterday between a St Patrick’s College student and a student from another school,” she wrote.
“It has become apparent that the incident was videoed and is circulating on social media.
“This incident was investigated in accordance with our college procedures and has been reported to the appropriate authorities.
“As this is a Police matter we are not in a position to make any further comment.”
Both schools highlighted their focus on the safety and wellbeing of all students and staff.
