Three teenage girls have been charged with attempted aggravated robbery over an incident in Glenorchy last month.
The trio allegedly assaulted a woman near a bus stop on Main Road around 4:45pm on July 31.

Tasmania Police Inspector Jason Klug said the incident was initially reported as an assault, but subsequent investigations have led police to upgrade the charges.
The victim was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital for treatment, he said.
“These sorts of incidents are not acceptable in our community and I want to assure people that police take matters like this extremely seriously,” he said.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dash cam footage of the area at the time is urged to come forward.
“You can stay anonymous,” Klug said.
