A warrant was issued by a crown court today for a woman accused of stabbing a man.

Natasha Dent, of Egglestone View, Darlington, failed to appear at Teesside Crown Court for a hearing.

Paul Cleasby, prosecuting, said the 18-year-old had been arrested over the weekend for another matter but had been given police bail and had not turned up for court to appear on two charges of wounding with intent.

Her co-accused Mark Bennett, 20, of Stocksmoor Close, and Jason Woodbridge, 19, of Dundee Street, both Darlington, appeared for the hearing and were bailed.

They have been charged with violent disorder.

The case was adjourned for a plea and case management hearing on April 28.
