Three teenage girls arrested after two police officers suffered serious injuries at McDonald's in Harrogate on Friday night have been released on bail pending further enquires.

The police community support officers from Harrogate's neighbourhood policing team were called to the McDonald’s on Cambridge Road following reports that the girls, aged 13,14 and 15, had entered despite being banned due to anti-social behaviour earlier in the evening.

The group refused to leave when asked by officers and trouble flared at around 7pm.

One of the PCSOs suffered a suspected broken nose and the other sustained tissue damage to the cheek. Both received hospital treatment.

Detective Constable Amy Sharrad, who is leading on the investigation, today thanked people who had given information. She added:

"We are aware of some footage circulating on social media of the incident, and would ask that those who have posted footage to contact us as soon as possible with any information."


Anyone who has any information that can assist the investigation can email Detective Constable Amy Sharrad at amy.sharrad@northyorkshire.police.uk or call North Yorkshire Police on 101.
