A TEENAGE girl has died from head injuries after being caught in the middle of a gang fight.
The 17-year-old is believed to have been hit with a heavy object after a battle broke out between rival factions from the Shieldhill and Maddiston areas of Falkirk on Thursday night.
She was rushed to the town's Royal Infirmary in a critical condition and died yesterday from her injuries.
A 21-year-old man is being held by the police in connection with the incident.
Detective Inspector Andrew Lawless said: 'I would urge anyone with information in relation to the incident to make contact with police.'
The arrested man is expected to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court tomorrow.
