A woman has been charged with assault on an emergency worker and a public order offence.

The incident happened at the end of Oozehead Lane towards Manor Road in Blackburn on Saturday.

She was later taken into custody. Police said they attended Oozehead Lane on the afternoon of Saturday, September 12 to seize a vehicle ‘when a woman became abusive and aggressive towards officers’.

A statement said: “A woman was arrested and has now been charged with assault on an emergency worker and a public order offence. She is Khalida Haq, aged 44 of Manor Road, Blackburn. She has been bailed to appear at Blackburn Magistrates’ Court on November 5.”
