A teenager who poured bleach over a woman who asked him to be quiet in a cinema was found guilty of trying to cause serious injury.

The 16-year-old attacked Annette Warden as she had a meal with her family in a restaurant in Leeds on July 26.

He was annoyed with the mother-of-two after she fetched a member of staff to tell him and his friends to be quiet during a screening of Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince at a cinema.

Warden (46) had to be treated in hospital, although she was not seriously injured.

The boy earlier admitted causing Warden actual bodily harm by squirting the liquid over her head but denied the more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.
