THREE teen girls have been arrested after two PCSOs were seriously injured in McDonald’s.
The girls, aged 13, 13 and 15, remain in custody following the attack, which left one officer with a broken nose.

The other officer suffered tissue damage to the cheek in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, tonight. They remain in hospital for treatment.
Both PCSCOs attended the McDonald’s following reports that teenagers had entered after being banned.
The teens had been given a Dispersal Notice earlier in the evening following anti-social behaviour.
But they refused to leave when asked to and an altercation began.
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.”
North Yorkshire Police urged witnesses to get in touch.
