Two girls injected with drugs in spiking horror at Leeds Festival - and one ends up fitting

Police are investigating after two teenage girls reported being 'spiked' with an injection at Leeds Festival.

One of the girls, who are both aged 17 and unknown to one another, suffered severe seizures in her mum's car. She had driven 70 miles to pick up her daughter after she was told she had been spiked.

It happened on Saturday, August 27. The victim felt a sharp, throbbing pain in her thigh while she was in the packed crowd waiting for an act to come on stage. She says she turned to see a man withdraw a syringe and disappear into the masses of people.
