Teenage girls told to leave assault behaviour behind as pair sentenced for Ayr train attack

A pair of 17-year-old girls who launched a vicious assault on board a train have been told by a sheriff to accept the help they’ve been offered or they could be looking at jail time.

The pair, who cannot legally be identified due to their age, appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court for sentencing after previously admitting their guilt over the assault, which took place while on a ScotRail train between Barassie and Newton-on-Ayr stations on March 26 last year.

The court heard previously that the teens, who live in Ayr, boarded the 10.30pm service from Glasgow to Ayr where a dispute amongst two groups ensued.
