The girl was approached by the pair on her way to school on Silver Street in Irlam, Manchester, at 8:30am yesterday.
In a separate incident, a child was allegedly grabbed by the throat on their way home from school.
Parents from Moorlands Junior School in Sale, Manchester were informed the pupil had been targeted in an “unprovoked” incident on Thursday, January 16.
