A DRUNKEN 16-year-old girl who ran amok in "one night of madness" in Burnley attacked two policemen and vandalised six cars, a court heard.

The teenager, who was hoping for a career in the legal system, spat at one officer and sank her teeth into another, although it did not appear the skin was broken, the town's magistrates were told.

She had had so much alcohol she could not remember what happened.

The Burnley girl, who cannot be named for legal reason, had been part of a gang.

She admitted two counts of police assault and six of damage on October 24.

She was given a six-month referral order by the bench who said she had gone on a "little bit of a rampage".

The girl must also pay £250 in compensation and costs.

Mark Williams, defending, said the defendant's behaviour was disgraceful.

The solicitor said the "one night of madness" had been coming, as the defendant, then 15, had been going out with these friends and drinking.

He told the bench: "The girl in the prosecution statements is not the girl you see before you today."
