In what will come across as a rather stunning occurrence, a 16-year-old girl was found superglued to her friend wandering along the M4.
According to Metro UK, police spotted the two as they made their way along the motorway, stuck to one another with high strength Gorilla Glue.
They spoke to the girls, and realised they needed medical help to be prised apart due to the high strength of the glue.
Both were taken straight to hospital so doctors could separate them, where the one of them immediately began swearing at medical staff and patients.
Earlier that day, she had gone to the home of a different girl, aged 12, who she previously assaulted.
Swindon Magistrates Court heard the girl pleaded guilty to the attack – but a few days later went to confront the victim about it.
She called her a ‘grass’ and then called her mother a ‘snitch’ because they had told police about what happened.
After leaving the house when a man appeared on the scene, she was later found wandering on the M4 stuck to a friend.
It was not clear how they came to be superglued together.
None of the girls can be named for legal reasons, as they are under 18.
The first girl was charged and pleaded guilty to four charges, which included assaulting a police officer and intimidating witnesses.
Chair of the bench, Richard Mattick, said: ‘Witness intimidation is a serious offence, though it does on this occasion seem more like the childish shouting.
‘Also, to be on the motorway in the way you were could have caused a serious accident. It could have led to other people, including you, being seriously injured.’
The defendant was given a supervision order for 12 months, which included a six month curfew to remain indoors at night.
She was also told to undertake 12 days of work in the community.
