    Two police community support officers were left seriously injured following an attack in McDonald's in Harrogate.

    North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and mobile phone footage of the incident which took place at around 7pm on Friday evening on Cambridge Road.

    Three girls, aged 13, 14 and 15-years-old, have been arrested in connection with the attack and remain in custody for questioning.

    The officers attended the McDonald's after reports that the girls had entered the restaurant despite being banned due to anti-social behaviour earlier in the evening.

    The group refused to leave when asked by officers and an altercation took place.

    One of the PCSOs suffered a suspected broken nose and the other had tissue damage to the cheek. Both remain in hospital for treatment for their injuries.

    Neighbourhood Delivery Inspector Phoebe Southall said:

    "No one deserves to go to work and be assaulted, especially as they work to protect the public and keep our communities safe. It is not just ‘part of the job’ and we will investigate any incidents of violence towards our staff thoroughly.
    “We would urge anyone who either witnessed the attack or has any information or mobile phone footage that may have captured something to please get in touch.”


    Anyone with any information should contact police on 101 or investigationhubcounty@northyorkshire.police.uk and quote reference number 12220055279.
