An 18-year-old woman who spat in a police officer's face as she was being arrested has walked free, after a judge said she was too ''young and immature'' to go to jail.
Shanae White, then 18, lowered her facemask and spat onto the forehead and cheek of Sgt Matt Black at the height of the pandemic as he was escorting her to a cell, on suspicion of robbery.
Sgt Black who is based at Bury police station in Greater Manchester couldn't even wipe his face as he tried to keep hold of White and said he felt the spittle running into his eyes and mouth.
