Manx student fight appears on Mail Online

Video described as 'disturbing'

Footage of two students fighting at an Island high-school has been featured on the Daily Mail's online site. 

Two boys at the QEII playing fields in Peel are shown trading blows in what appears to be an organised fight, whilst a crowd of onlookers cheers.

One of the pupils throws his opponent to the floor before then kicking him in the head.

The video was posted to youtube on Monday (9 March).

The Department for Education Sport and Culture has issued as statement, describing the fight as an 'isolated incident' which happened sometime last year.

Officials say the boys involved were dealt with at the time, in line with school's behaviour policy.
