A child was arrested after police officers were caught up in a snowball fight. Officers on patrol spotted youths throwing which came "very close to hitting officers and members of public in the face".
Following the incident a dispersal order was put in place and a child was arrested for alleged public order offences, on Friday night.
Sgt Harrison, from the Chorley & South Ribble Task Force, said: “We DO NOT consent to a snowball fight and we will take positive action against any people who have been identified attempting to assault officers.
"Officers will be on duty all weekend and behaviour of this nature will NOT be tolerated.”
The dispersal order means anyone suspected of causing anti social behaviour will be directed to leave a specified area, and if they don't risk being arrested.
