A shopper attacked supermarket staff after being accused of stealing makeup.
Bernadette Taggart headbutted one female Asda employee on the nose then punched and spat on another.
Taggart, 39, of Tinto Crescent, Wishaw, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted two counts of assault.
She also admitted threatening or abusive behaviour, but her not guilty plea to charges of stealing cosmetics and resisting arrest were accepted.
The court heard Taggart turned up at the store in Morningside Road, Newmains, at 10.30pm on February 12 last year.
Staff suspected she was taking items through a self-service checkout without paying and challenged her.
Taggart responded by hurling abuse then assaulting the two women.
She also threatened to "wreck" a car belonging to one of the workers.
Police officers arrived to find Taggart still shouting and swearing.
After being arrested she started spitting in the police station and officers had to cover her head with a spithood.
Taggart admitted previous convictions.
Sheriff John Speir called for a criminal justice social work report and an electronic tagging assessment and deferred sentence until next month.
He agreed to continue bail.
