A nasty racist, who spat in another woman's face while screaming abuse and deliberately coughed in the faces of arresting officers, has been jailed.
Carol Cowan, 52, of Church Road, Crystal Palace picked on the woman at 10.45pm in Croydon town centre.
Police were flagged down in Westow Street by the victim, who reported Cowan for racially abusing her and spitting in her face.
Cowan was arrested, but while in custody deliberately coughed into the faces of two officers, claiming she was infected with COVID-19.
She appeared at Croydon Magistrates Court and pleaded guilty to the racially aggravated assault of the female victim.
She also admitted assaulting the two police officers.
Cowan was sentenced to six months imprisonment and ordered to pay each victim £100 compensation.
Inspector Duncan Anderson, of Croydon police, said: "Spitting or coughing in the face at anyone is disgusting and unacceptable behaviour at any time, but given the concerns around COVID19 that we all currently face it is appalling.”

I like the way this woman is described as 'nasty', while the masked rapist in the previous story doesn't get any adjectives.
