A woman who spat at and hit police officers with a wooden stick during the Kill the Bill protest in Bristol has been jailed for nearly six years. Francesca Horn, 25, was captured on CCTV and police body cameras spitting at officers on multiple occasions and kicking their shields.
She is also seen throwing objects, including a police shield, at them. She also damaged a police van by pulling off its wing mirror.
Horn admitted a charge of violent disorder but denied riot. However she was convicted following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in April.
