A teenager has been referred to a youth outcomes panel after two police officers suffered serious injuries at McDonald’s in Harrogate.
The police community support officers from Harrogate’s neighbourhood policing team were called to McDonald’s on Cambridge Road on April 1.
They were responding to reports that three girls, aged 13,14 and 15, had entered despite being banned due to anti-social behaviour earlier in the evening.
According to police, 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.
The three girls were arrested and bailed pending further investigation.

North Yorkshire Police today revealed one of the girls has been referred to a youth outcomes panel.
The panel, which is a partnership between police, North Yorkshire Youth Justice Service and York Youth Offending Team, decides what action, if any, is most appropriate to pursue.
The panel encourages a restorative approach with victims and looks to address the causes of the young person’s offending.
The two other girls remain on conditional bail while enquiries continue.
