A woman punched, scratched, and bit a stranger in the street after he told her off for kicking over bins, a court has heard.
Omsap Sanguanbun then assaulted the policeman who arrested her - the sixth time she has attacked an officer in the space of 18 months. A judge told the 25-year-old the way she had behaved was "intolerable in any civilised county".
Swansea Crown Court heard that on the morning of November 4, 2022, Sanguanbun was seen by passers-by leaving the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre on Alfred Street in Neath town centre "shouting and swearing" and in an "agitated" state. Brian Simpson, prosecuting, said the defendant was seen kicking over bins on the street, and when one of the witnesses told her to stop it she attacked him by swinging punches - several of which landed - and scratching his face. The court heard the pair ended up on the floor with the defendant on top, and when the witness tried to push her off she sank her teeth into his thumb and would not let go. The victim eventually managed to get Sanguanbun off him, and the defendant walked off towards Windsor Road screaming and hitting herself in the head.
