Inspector Simon Riley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “It is unacceptable to threaten and intimidate people and we will always thoroughly investigate incidents of this nature with the view to action against offenders.

“This incident was terrifying for the victim and spitting at another person is an abhorrent act, made even more so by the current potential for transmission of Covid-19 and other communicable diseases. We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in our communities.

“Officers did an excellent job to quickly locate a suspect and make an arrest as part of this case and I would ask that anyone who may have seen or heard something suspicious to get in touch as soon as possible.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 539 of 8 August 2021.
