A shocking video showing the moment a gang of foul-mouthed children aged just eight
threaten and chase two teenagers through a shopping precinct has emerged.
The distressing footage shows the students being sworn at, chased, pushed, punched and kicked at by the gang of little tearaways.
One of the pint-sized yobs can be heard to say: 'Stop pointing it (the camera) at me or I will smash it. We'll follow you.
When one of the A-level students then asks them how old they are, one boy replies: 'I'm eight you f****** t***.'
The clip, filmed by the two 16-year-old boys in Yeovil town centre, Somerset, was posted on YouTube and attracted more than 100,000 hits in less than a week.
The short film starts with the teenagers performing rollerskating tricks before the gang of around seven small children confront them in the street.
Charles Turner, 16, was one of the two teenagers targeted by the gang last Saturday.
He said: 'We were just filming some tricks and these kids walked up to us and were immediately abusive.
'At one point they started shouting at an elderly woman who was just walking past.
'There were about six or seven of them ranging in age from about eight to 12.
'They have obviously been brought up to believe they can just act like this, which is quite sad.
'There were a lot of people about and you could see how shocked some of them were.'
The video shows the teenage boys trying to move away from the escalating situation by skating away.
However, the children run after them before attempting to grab and kick the older boys.
After one of the children grabs the skater holding the video camera the little yobs can be seen to begin to push him.
The video ends just as the teenage boys reach the safety of a nearby cinema.
'They followed us into the cinema and tried to steal my friend's wallet by pinching it from his pocket and one of the girls tried to punch him in the face,' said Charles.
The video has attracted almost 500 comments on YouTube, with many praising the teenagers for their restraint when dealing with the pint-sized gang.
Jon Gleeson, a Yeovil town councillor, said: 'I am horrified by the footage.
'I am amazed children this young appeared to be allowed to be left unaccompanied in a busy town centre.
'Where on earth were the parents?
'I'm sure the majority of parents who watch this video will be stunned by the language and the complete lack of respect that seems to be shown for other people.'
The two teenagers did not make a complaint to the police about the abusive behaviour of the children.
