A Nigerian man who spat blood into the eyes of a policewoman has been jailed.

Identified as Temisan Oritsejafor, the Nigerian who perpetrated the act during his arrest in the UK, has been jailed for eight months.

The 41-year-old man was said to have spat on a policewoman identified as PC Annie Napier as she detained him after he assaulted his neighbours.

“A male officer who believed he was being aggressive took him to the floor, and was assisted by a female colleague, PC Napier, to restrain him.”
