A 19-year-old girl has been charged with violent disorder after a Horwich schoolgirl was attacked.

Naomi Marsh, from Horwich, is due before magistrates at Bolton today. She was arrested yesterday following the attack on Leah Crompton last Friday.

The 14-year-old was kicked and punched during the incident in Ainsworth Avenue, Horwich. Two girls, aged 15 and 16, have also been charged with violent disorder. They have been bailed to appear before Bolton Youth Court on May 29.
