A thug has been jailed after he spat in a police officer's face and threatened to kill the staff of a hotel in London. Metropolitan Police said in a statement they were called at 2.30pm on March 23 to Empire Way, Brent, after Nicolae-Raul Cozacu started to become violent.
The 43-year-old, of no fixed address, had been caught by the staff urinating against the wall of the hotel on the same day Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the coronavirus lockdown in Britain.
He was asked to leave the area but refused to do so and was eventually escorted off the premises. But this then led him to become "abusive and threatening" towards both the hotel staff and police.
