Tina O’Brien has been cleared over a vicious brawl with teenage girls outside her home.
According to The Sun, police have concluded that the Coronation Street actress was acting in self-defence.
Last month, the 40-year-old was filmed trying to break up a row between two girls outside her house in Manchester, before she was dragged into it herself.

A source has since told the outlet: “Police have concluded Tina acted in self-defence and hasn’t done anything wrong. Her version has always been she was defending her home and her family, and that appears to have been accepted.
“Tina is also tiny and not an aggressive person — so is not the kind to be fighting in the street usually. These girls came to her road and to her house, and that’s the only reason she got involved.
“She thinks they were looking for trouble and — although it was not a good look — in a way she did the right thing.”
The 40-year-old lives in Manchester with her husband Adam Crofts, 37, their son Beau, 8, and daughter Scarlett, 14, whom she co-parents with her ex Ryan Thomas.

It’s understood the fight broke out near Tina’s home in Bramhall, where she’s been plagued by problems in the area.
The shocking video footage showed the actress telling the girls to “get away from the f****** house.”
At the time, a spokesperson for Tina said: “Tina was the victim of an unprovoked incident outside her home which she has reported to the police.”

The Greater Manchester Police also confirmed: “Officers are investigating reports of an assault in the Stockport area between 8pm and 9pm on March 15 2024.”
The actress joined Coronation Street as Sarah Platt in 1999, until she took a break from the show in 2008.
Following her stint on the BBC drama Waterloo Road, Tina returned to the cobbles in 2015.
