Shocking footage has emerged of teenage girls fighting in a mass brawl on a bus that left fellow passengers cowering in fear. 

The dramatic images show the youngsters pulling at each other's hair and punching and kicking each other while frequently tumbling to the floor of the double-decker National Express vehicle in Birmingham.

The minute-long footage of the melee sees girls, dressed in jeans and casual clothing, knocked backwards over seats while screams are heard alongside unintelligible shouting and swearing.

At one point a boy tries to break up the fight only to be told by a girl 'unhand me now or I will headbutt you'.

National Express West Midlands, which runs the service, has confirmed it is investigating the incident

Another girl suggests someone is bleeding after the fighting appears to have died down. 

National Express West Midlands has now launched an investigation into the violent scenes, which are said to have taken place near Pelham in Hodge Hill, Birmingham.

A spokeswoman said: 'We are investigating an alleged incident between passengers on the top deck of one of our vehicles.

'As part of our Safer Travel Partnership passengers can report anti-social behaviour through the See Something Say Something service by texting 'Bus' followed by a space to 83010, with a message giving as much information as possible about the nature of the incident.

'Anybody witnessing criminal behaviour should ring 999, as they would do normally.'

A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said they had no report of a complaint.

It is the second serious incident on a bus in the area in a matter of months, after a court case in Birmingham in June which heard how a 16-year-old student stabbed another teenager on the top deck of the No.14 bus because he would not shake hands.

The victim was knifed in the arm and back during the sickening attack as it travelled towards Alum Rock.

The injured youngster fled and flagged down a Good Samaritan who drove the boy to Heartlands Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.

The defendant, who was studying for his GCSEs, was sentenced to a two-year youth rehabilitation order. 

It included six months strict supervision with 'intensive surveillance' and an electronic tag and curfew.

Another girl, pictured, is heard suggesting someone was bleeding as the fighting died down
