Police are appealing for the victim of a Auckland shopping mall beating by two schoolgirls to come forward so the girls can be charged.
The pair, aged 13 and 14, were barred from attending their school, Mt Albert Grammar, after two attacks at St Lukes shopping mall.
Security camera footage shows the girls kicking a man in the head as his daughter looked on about 5pm on March 14.
Three men who helped the middle-aged Indian man have been interviewed by police but the victim, who did not fight back, has not been contacted, the New Zealand Herald reported today.
Constable Stuart Mottashed said it would be difficult for the girls to be prosecuted without the victim coming forward.
In a second attack, the girls were involved in a brawl at the mall with at least two other girls.
Mt Albert Grammar board chairman Greg Moyle said the girls were in school uniform when they attacked the man.
Mr Moyle said it was a sad event but not common at the school which has 2500 students and he was trying to find another school for them or an alternative education.
"At the end of the day, despite the terrible thing these girls have done, they still deserve a decent education but it won't be at Mt Albert Grammar."
