Cop Hating Thug Spits Blood On Cops Face During Arrest

A vulgar thug is facing a significant prison term after spitting in the face of a frontline officer.

This is the moment Temisan Oritsejafor launched his despicable reaction to being arrested following disorder at a block of flats in Coventry.

The spit with blood went into the response officer’s eye, but despite the understandable concerns given Covid-19, she maintained her professionalism and has thankfully suffered no ill-effects.

Brave PC Annie Napier is still on active duty and at the forefront of keeping the public safe - and pursuing crime suspects - just like her colleagues across the force.

She said: "As frontline officers, we know that we put ourselves in potential danger, but we now face the added risk of Covid-19 infection which then also puts our families at risk.

"It’s a shock when someone spits in your face and very unpleasant, so I’m pleased the force and the courts take these assaults so seriously."

Superintendent Jenny Skryme added: "It is vulgar and unacceptable to spit at anybody, but even more so a key worker who is putting themselves at risk to keep people safe and catch criminals.

"Our officers are bravely and repeatedly on the frontline despite the understandable safety concerns across the country. This type of assault on our staff is deplorable and shouldn’t, and won’t be, tolerated."

Oritsejafor was arrested in Attoxhall Road, Wyken, on April 18, but was already on bail for assaulting another officer just weeks earlier.

He has pleaded guilty to two counts of assault on an emergency worker, and a further charge of assault.

The 41-year-old, of Attoxhall Road, has been remanded in custody ahead of sentencing at Warwick Crown Court at a later date.
