A group of teenagers coughed all over supermarket shoppers and threatened to give them coronavirus, police say. The shocking incident took place outside Morrisons supermarket in Verwood, Dorset, where a group of youths had gathered outside to apparently harass customers.
Officers were called in to disperse the thugs, who were upsetting customers. The three youths, who were aged around 14, are also said to have verbally abused anyone who challenged them.
A witnessed added: "There are three boys that look about 14-years-old in the square, spitting on the ground, sitting on a bench together, smoking and taking it in turns on a bike that they keep swerving in front of people.
