Bad Day in a Tough Job
This from the Daily Telegraph (Brisbane, Australia):

The court was told Pommer entered the school grounds screaming obscenities while the students waited to be collected at the end of the day.
When Mr Munce approached her she punched his head repeatedly, then kneed him in the groin and spat in his face.
She also slapped and spat at another mother who tried to intervene.
The court was told Pommer - who was infected with hepatitis C - then spat at and bit three police officers who arrived to arrest her.
None of her victims contracted the highly infectious disease.
When she was hauled into the police vehicle, she then wriggled free from her handcuffs and smashed one of the windows, the court was told.
Defence barrister Jann Taylor said Pommer, a chronic alcoholic, had been suffering an "alcohol-induced blackout'' when she went to the school.
