Bolton Crown Court. A TEENAGER struck a woman on the head so hard with a metal bar in Leigh that her skull was exposed, a court heard. Callum Barlow, of Walmersley Road, Bury, was just 16 when he attacked Claire Mulcrow in the street following a dispute over damage the teen had caused to his victim’s car. Bob Sastry, prosecuting, told Bolton Crown Court Barlow, now 18, had smashed the window of Mrs Mulcrow’s car on December 20, 2019. The court heard the victim was having issues with a loan shark but it was unclear if this event was related. Mr Sastry said around 1am on New Year’s Day 2020, Mrs Mulcrow was in her car with her husband driving along Wigan Road in Leigh when she saw Barlow walking along the street.
