"A GIRL threatened a man she passed in the street with a knife after he refused her request for money. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had to be shot with a Taser stun gun by police as she held a knife to his throat after making him kneel down in a busy Blackburn road, Preston Crown Court was told.
She was the first person under 16 in the country to have a stun gun used on her by police. She was sentenced to a six-month training and detention order."
