Police are also looking for the woman who began verbally abusing the girls.
She is said to have been very aggressive and using racist language, and was around 5'1" tall and had short blonde hair which was pulled back into a short ponytail. She was wearing a grey hooded top and carrying a white carrier bag.
Detective Constable Anne Rose said: "We are keen to speak to any witnesses to the incident or anyone who knows who these people are. We know there was a taxi and a silver car which had to swerve round one of the girls as she was being pushed into the road."
Witnesses should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 quoting crime reference EC/13/1047.

“The victims were verbally abused by the woman and then one of the men grabbed one of the girls, punched her in the back and tried to push her into the oncoming traffic.
If indeed this is what he did then forget the racist bit and charge him, if caught, with attampted murder and the others as accomplices. That would wipe the smile off their faces.”
