Shoppers queuing inside a supermarket to buy vital supplies during lockdown were allegedly spat at by a woman who said "I hope you all get coronavirus ".
Pensioners were apparently among those said to have been spat at in a Morrisons store in Bolton, Greater Manchester - with the alleged culprit restrained by members of the public before police arrived.
A witness said when a security guard attempted to remove the woman they were also spat at and then injured in the struggle. Shoppers helped to restrain her while staff called 999, with a witness also claiming one member of the public who helped was taken to hospital with injuries.
