A 13-year-old girl has been charged with assault after allegedly attacking a shopping centre security guard and police officer. 

The young girl was charged alongside a 16-year-old boy and a 30-year-old woman after the trio got into a struggle with the QueensPlaza guard, in Brisbane’s CBD.

Witnesses said the physical altercation began when the security guard asked them to leave the shopping centre at about 8pm on Saturday evening, 9NEWS reported.

The trio became quickly frustrated and decided to take their anger out on the security guard.

Video footage shows the aggressors lunge towards the guard while he tries to block their advances. 

A member of the public and another guard tried to help break up the brawl while the attackers relentlessly threw punches. 

They managed to maintain one attacker just before police arrived – about 15-minutes after the fight broke out.

‘There was a bit of a fight, a struggle to hold them down,’ witness Kell Reese told 9NEWS.

Witnesses said the physical altercation began when the security guard asked the trio to leave the QueensPlaza shopping centre, Brisbane's CBD, at about 8pm on Saturday evening
