Hero son rescued mum after woman grabbed hair and punched her in driveway attack

A hero teenager has been awarded £75 compensation after he was assaulted whilst rescuing his mother from having her hair torn out during a fight with another woman.

The boy bravely intervened when his barmaid mum was ambushed by Kelly Stones on her driveway as she was returning home from a shift at a pub.

Miss Stones, 39, who had earlier been thrown out of the pub, grabbed the mother by the hair and pulled out clumps with her hand whilst her boyfriend Paul Fairclough, 39, told the teen: ''Do you want it as well because you are old enough to take it now?'' The youngster helped his father split the two women up but he was pushed into a bush as police were called to the scene in Culcheth, near Warrington, Cheshire.

Officers who investigated the attack in December last year discovered it had arisen out of a neighbour's feud. At Warrington Magistrates' Court, Fairclough was ordered to pay damages to the hero teen and complete 120 hours in unpaid work after he was convicted of assault.
