A man spat in the face of a police officer who was trying to break up a violent brawl in Nottinghamshire. Harrison Price, 22, was arrested in Carter Gate, Newark, after police were called to a fight involving a group of men in the early hours of August 1, 2020.
After struggling with officers, Price was caught on CCTV as he spat at one of them on the cheek. Price, who admitted and apologised for his actions during a police interview, was one of a group of men detained after the melee.
He appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, April 22, after pleading guilty to assaulting an emergency worker. Price, of Mill Green, Newark, was given an 18-month community order and instructed to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work.
