A Scots waitress who left a police constable bloodied following a savage biting attack has been ordered to pay the officer compensation.
Alicja Kosno had been out celebrating her 19th birthday when she became involved in a drunken row with her mother in Edinburgh city centre last year. Passing police officers spotted the fracas and after stopping to intervene Kosovo lashed out at PC Lewis Hardie by kicking and biting him.
The bite to the officer’s arm drew blood and the constable was forced to attend hospital to have a Hepatitis B jab by medics. Kosno, from Blackburn, West Lothian, was also taken to the capital’s royal infirmary where she continued her drunken tirade by “shouting, screaming and swearing” at nursing staff.
