Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to take action against youth violence in Scottish schools after footage emerged of a sickening attack in a classroom.
The disturbing video shows a girl at Waid Academy in Anstruther, Fife, launching a violent assault on another female pupil, by dragging her off of her chair and then punching and kicking her on the head.
The victim tries to cover herself while lying on the floor. The 14-second clip, filmed on Monday, ends when a teacher shouts at the attacker to stop.
The attack has been reported to Police Scotland, who are also investigating a second incident that took place on the same day.
North East Fife MSP Willie Rennie, who represents Anstruther, was deeply disturbed by the footage and said he couldn't get the "ugly scene out of his head" at First Minister's Questions on Thursday.
Mr Rennie said: "Last evening I watched a social media video of one pupil attacking another at Waid Academy in my constituency. To be frank, I wish I hadn't, I can't get it out of my head.
"It was an ugly scene. Earlier this year, Heather Hughes, then president of the EIS, warned about increasing violence in our schools. I'm supporting staff, the council and the school locally but what action is the government taking across the country?"
Nicola Sturgeon promised to watch the video saying, "I think it is important that we do have a full understanding of issues like this".
She added that "violence is never acceptable and safety of pupils and staff is paramount" and said Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville had met council chiefs to discuss the issue.
Ms Sturgeon said: "We will continue to consider fully what additional steps we can take to support councils in making it very clear that violence is unacceptable
