It is stated they shouted, swore and demanded money from her.

They are then said to have pulled and pinned her to the ground.

The women allegedly repeatedly punched, kicked and scratched her head and body.

Miss Carmichael is said to have been severely injured as a result of the attack.

The trio are said to have robbed Miss Carmichael of her mobile phone, a bus pass and £170 in money.

Grahl faces a separate charge of breaching her bail conditions by failing to comply with the set hours she was to remain at home.

The three women pleaded not guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
