A 'ROAD rage' attacker spat on two women because the driver had gone the wrong way around a car park while looking for a space.

Alaina Manton came head-to-head with two women and, once the defendant had parked, opened their car door, swore at the driver and spat on the driver and passenger.

The 28-year-old of Constantine Close, Kempsey, admitted two charges of assault by beating against Christine Holden-Jones and Zoe Mapp in Malvern Retail Park in Roman Way on July 5 last year when she appeared before magistrates in Worcester on Thursday.

Ralph Robyns-Landricombe, prosecuting, said police attended the retail park 'following reports of a road rage attack' and found the victims, who had been shopping, outside the Card Factory.

The defendant met them coming the other way as they were turning into the same car parking row, ending up 'head-to-head' in their vehicles.

He added: "After a brief exchange of words between the parties from within their vehicles, both parties have gone and parked in their separate parking bays. A few moments after that, the victims were sitting in their vehicle when Manton, now out of her vehicle, has approached one of the victims and started shouting and swearing at her while the victim was still in her car.

"During this altercation Manton pulled open the victim's car door, shouted into the car at her and intentionally spat into the vehicle with Manton's saliva landing on both victims."

The chairman of the magistrates called the attack 'a nasty incident'. Magistrates made a 12 month community order to include 160 hours of unpaid work, reduced from 240 hours to reflect credit for her early guilty plea.

Manton was also ordered to pay £100 each in compensation to the two victims, £135 in costs and a victim surcharge of £95.

The defendant offered to pay off the debt at a rate of £25 per month with the first payment due in 28 days. A fines collection order was also made, giving the court extra powers to recover the money.
