A PASSENGER was injured when children armed with catapults fired at a train in Burnley.
A window in the train was smashed and the passenger suffered with minor injuries but the train was able to continue its journey to Leeds.
The Blackpool to Leeds train was at Gannow junction when the incident happened around 7.30pm yesterday.
PC Bob Bullen said: "Fortunately the passenger escaped with slight injuries but the dangers of doing this should be obvious to anyone.
