A woman who punched and spat on shoppers inside a Belfast city centre store has been jailed for three months.
Mary Ward, 20, launched attacks on the two female victims on the escalators at the reopened Primark. Ward, of Annadale Flats in the city, pleaded guilty to two counts of common assault and disorderly behaviour.
Belfast Magistrates’ Court heard she became violent in Primark’s flagship store on December 8 last year. Prosecutors said she came up behind two women on the escalators and began to shout abuse at them.
