Tina O’Brien has been seen for the first time since she got caught up in a teenage street fight.
The Coronation Street, 40, was caught up in the brawl last Friday as video footage showed her hair being pulled and punched as she fought with two young men.
Tina, who plays Sarah Barlow in the popular soap, was allegedly trying to defend her £1million home in Bramhall, Stockport, from an unprovoked attack.
And Tina looked dejected as she drove around in her Jaguar I-pace electric car near her home in Greater Manchester.
It comes after The Sun reported that she will be improving security at her property, which she shares with her husband and two children, for fear of backlash.
Tina O’Brien has been seen for the first time since she got caught up in a teenage street fight
Coronation Street, 40, was caught in the brawl last Friday as a video showed her hair being pulled out and beaten as she fought with two young men.
The actress is believed to have run out of her house when a fight broke out on her quiet street at around 8pm on Friday, March 15.
At the beginning of the footage obtained by The Sun, Tina, who was wearing a black and white striped top and pink jogging pants, can be seen trying to calm tensions between two young women.
One can be heard saying, “You touched my mom.”
Tina can be heard urging one of the girls to let go of the other, saying: “Let her go… stop.” Let her go, I just said stop. Let her go.’
The footage continues to show the teenage girls kicking each other and then Tina, who intervenes to stop the fight.
The pair are seen fighting with each other and with Tina, who briefly puts the girl in a headlock.
The girls are seen pulling their hair and hitting them.
A girl with blonde hair gets involved shouting ‘who the fuck (do you think) you really are, touching my mom!’
Tina ‘is increasing security to protect her children from revenge attacks’ after star got caught in teen street fight
This then triggers another wrestling match between the two teenagers, with the Coronation Street star caught in the middle.
The footage then cuts and when it restarts it shows a melee involving the actress and three girls.
On Thursday night, a source told The Sun: ‘Tina went straight to meet her Corrie bosses this morning.
‘She told them she was the victim here and they accepted it. They also believe that the incident has traumatized her, so they have been very understanding.
In addition to the mother of two contacting police, it is believed that a relative of one of the children also contacted officers.
The soap star now lives in fear of reprisals after the fight and is increasing security at the home she shares with her husband Adam Crofts, a personal trainer, and their two children.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “Officers are investigating reports of an assault in Stockport between 8pm and 9pm on March 15.”
The mother of one of the teenage girls involved in the fight claimed the group had been looking for trouble after a fight over a child. She also claimed that Tina had defended her daughter.
She said: ‘Tina has been very brave to intervene. Tina is very little and she was defending my daughter, so I am very grateful to her.
The actress is believed to have run out of her house when a fight broke out on her quiet street at around 8pm on Friday, March 15.
‘You can hear in her voice in the video that she is scared. This is not like her either and she is a very good person.
“I have thanked him and I would have done the same if it were my house.”
Mum-of-two Tina left her home early yesterday morning and went to the ITV studios in Salford Quays, where she told bosses she had been traumatized by the violence outside her home.
She has been granted time off following the attack which is said to have left her “traumatised”.
