A hotel yob, who threatened staff with a broken bottle and spat at one of them after being told not to urinate against the building, has been caged.
Nicolae-Raul Cozacu, 43, was arrested and also spat in the face of a police officer.
He was sentenced to 26 weeks imprisonment.
Cozacu pleaded guilty to assaulting the hotel employee and the officer as well as threatening behaviour, with intent to cause fear and provoke unlawful violence.
Police were called at 2.30pm on Monday, March 23 to Empire Way, Brent, after Cozacu threatened staff at the hotel.
He had been caught by a staff urinating against the wall of the hotel and refused to leave.
He then attempted to access a hotel laundry area that he had no reason to be in.
Again he was confronted and escorted off the premises, at which point he became abusive and threatening.
He grabbed a bottle of alcohol, smashed it and tried to chase staff members, threatening that he would kill them.
A member of staff tried to deescalate the situation and negotiate with Cozacu, who then spat in his face.
Police arrived and Cozacu was arrested.
He became ill and went to hospital, where he again became aggressive and abusive and spat in the face of an officer.
He was arrested upon discharge and remanded in custody.
Inspector Sammi Elfituri, of North West Command Unit, said: "Spitting at people, including emergency workers, is thoroughly disgusting and completely unacceptable behaviour, especially given the current climate.
"Those who behave this way will be always be pursued by the MPS to the fullest extent of the law.
“I am glad the courts have taken a robust stance to protect both the public and our staff.”
