One of the policemen was treated in hospital for bite wounds after the attack in a shopping precinct in Croydon, south London, Wednesday. The officers, aged 34 and 29, were on sick leave with bruising and knee injuries.
The teenage girl was initially asked to pick up a piece of litter. She did so but immediately dropped it again. When asked to pick it up again she became aggressive, and a group of teenagers gathered round and attacked them.
A number of men in their 30s and 40s and several women joined in the attack. All those involved were black, London's Metropolitan Police said.
One of the officers who was bitten, and is now recovering at home, said: "They were acting like animals, but I hate using the term 'animals' because they would not do that. Animals have a reason for doing something.
"This is just nonsense violence. It is difficult to think that they could do something like this -- and to a policeman."
A 15-year-old girl was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and bailed. When her parents arrived to pick her up, they complained about having their summer holiday interrupted, one of the attacked officers added.
The issue of youth violence has been highlighted by a string of fatal knife attacks in London and elsewhere in recent months, and was a hotly-debated theme during the campaign for the capital's mayoralty in May.
Separately, a 13-year-old boy was being questioned after being arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murder of a 17-year-old youth who was shot dead last week as he went for a haircut in Sheffield.

The man was one of two officers attacked near to the Woolworths and Burger King in North End, central Croydon, at about 3pm on Wednesday.
It started when the unarmed male officers on patrol saw a teenage girl drop a fast food wrapper from a nearby takeaway and asked her to pick it up. She did so but immediately dropped it on the ground again.
They then separated the girl from a 15-year-old girl with her who was being noisy and uncooperative.
The officer, who has not been identified, told BBC London 94.9 it was after that point she jumped on him and started biting.

Police said all suspects were black.”

Two police officers were attacked by a mob in south London after they asked a 15-year-old girl to pick up her litter.
One officer was dragged to the ground and kicked while the other was bitten by a girl who jumped on his back.
Up to 30 people took part in the attack, which happened in North End, Croydon, on Wednesday afternoon.
Trouble flared when the 15-year-old threw her food wrapper back on to the ground and became aggressive. The two officers are currently on sick leave.
One eyewitness said he saw two police officers struggling with a girl before a group of youths joined in and began pushing and shoving the officers.
Lawen Karim, 19, said: "The girl got violent, her friends got really violent.
"The police - there were only two of them - they were really outnumbered and all these yobs were just pushing them out of the way.
"I didn't see any punch being thrown but it was disgusting the way they treated the police."
A girl who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault has been released on bail.
CCTV footage
Two men, aged 34 and 38 and both from South Norwood, south London, have been arrested on suspicion of assault and violent disorder.
Police said the girl initially picked up the fast food wrapper when asked by the patrolling officers, but immediately dropped it again sparking the confrontation.
Both officers, aged 34 and 29, suffered bruising and knee injuries and the officer who received the bite wound required hospital treatment.
Police have been examining CCTV footage from the area.
Insp Simon Ellingham said: "We have heard from several retailers in the area who were horrified at the level of violence used by the crowd against the officers."
