Three teenagers have been arrested after a 14-year-old girl was attacked in a park in Nottingham.

Nottinghamshire Police said the victim was kicked multiple times and dragged across the ground by a group of girls after going to St Ann's Park, off Abbotsford Drive in St Ann's, to meet a friend on 19 June.

She needed hospital treatment after suffering bruises to her face, shoulders and arms, the force added.

Officers said three girls, one aged 13 and two 16-year-olds, were arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and violent disorder on Thursday.

They have all since been bailed pending further inquiries.

Supt Chris Pearson said: "This was a nasty assault on a 14-year-old girl.

"Thankfully, she did not suffer serious injuries."
