Graphic video shows another female student picking up the girl's head and repeatedly bashing her head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches. The victim's body was left motionless on the ground.
The girl on the ground then began to have a seizure as other students were seen gathered around and started fighting one another.
The victim, who has been identified as a student named Kailee, was transported to the hospital and remains in critical condition, according to RealSTLNews.
The fight took place near Hazelwood East High School on Claudine Street.
The St. Louis County Police Department is investigating the incident. It's unclear what led up to the fight. Police have not yet reported any arrests.
A police spokesperson said that the department will provide an update on Monday, according to First Alert 4.
The Hazelwood School District released a statement following the fight and offered condolences to all involved.
"It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt," the statement reads. "Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children. The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need."
"We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children. Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community," the district said.
Video of the fight has since gone viral across social media, with individuals calling the attack attempted murder and demanding the attacking student be held accountable.
