At one point the victims are ordered to their knees by the older girl and made to say "sorry" to another female. When admitting assault and robbery, the girl told police she could not remember anything about the incident, which happened at about 22:00 BST on Saturday, because she had "downed a bottle of vodka" in the hours beforehand.
As a result of the adverse publicity, the girl's solicitor Amy Nuttall said the teenager was kept in police custody "for her own welfare", after her identity was revealed.
Ms Nuttall said: "She was receiving thousands of death threats, after her mobile phone number was provided on the internet.
"The phone has now been disposed of."
The girl, who has left school, said she was "disgusted" with herself after being shown a video of what happened.
Sandra Murgatroyd, prosecuting, said two groups of youngsters had clashed on the night of the attack.
The teenager then accused two girls in the other group of "of giving her a dirty look".
She forced the first girl to get on her hands and knees to apologise, and hit her in the face with a handbag before turning on a second victim.
The teenager then went through the victim's bag, stole her phone and purse and told her she would "beat her up if she grassed".
District judge Shamim Qureshi told the 16-year-old there was a "high probability" she would be given a detention and training order of up to eight months when she is sentenced.
"That's the one that locks you up," he said.
Officers have already spoken to two other individuals, a police spokesman said, and "plans are in place" to arrest a second girl.Officers have already spoken to two other individuals, a police spokesman said, and "plans are in place" to arrest a second girl.
Insp John Askew said: "The response from members of the public, clearly disgusted by what they've seen online, has been overwhelming".
He added: "We would also remind people, especially social media users, that now a charge has been made the name of the teenager cannot be reported. This could jeopardise court proceedings."
