A woman launched a foul-mouthed and racist tirade at police officers who came to her help.
On February 23 last year, officers spotted a man assaulting Chloe Whelan, 36, in a car, by pulling her hair and slapping her, and immediately arrested him on Minshull Street in Manchester city centre.
However, as they were restraining him on the ground, she got out of the driver’s seat and ‘leapt’ at one of the officers, ‘wrapping her hands around his head’.
She was arrested for assaulting an emergency worker, during which she was verbally abusive, calling the officers: ‘N***ces’ and stating: “I’ll punch every one of your heads in.”

After around a quarter of an hour, another officer arrived in a police van to take Whelan to the police station. As the female officer went to search Whelan, she was met with ‘vile’ abuse.
Whelan began: “Do you want to feel my vagina? It’s what Manchester police do. I’ve got loads of coke in my vagina, I’m a cocaine dealer.”
She then said: “You little Islam girl, I bet you Allah loves you, doesn’t he,” and: “Get the coke out of my vagina, Muslim girl.” When the other officers told her to stop, she said she ‘didn’t give a f***’.
The officer completed the search of Whelan before putting her in the back of the van. She recorded Whelan saying the following as she drove back to the station: “Allah will send you to hellfire… P*** go back to your country… Hope you and your kids get raped… We let these terrorists come into our country… If this is what I pay my taxes for, people like you.”

Prosecutor Helen Longworth said Whelan was intoxicated at the time, and her language deteriorated to the point it became ‘inappropriate and racist’.
And the female officer said: “As I searched her, she was verbally abusive and the comments were repeated. The judgement based on my skin colour and my race, it was implied I was dangerous and a deviant to the community.
“I was very disheartened and shocked. It’s something that’s never happened to me before. I was transferring her back and she was still being verbally abusive.”
Ms Longworth said that Whelan had a previous conviction for racially aggravated disorder, when she made threats and racist comments about a child. She also became aggressive towards the headteacher who feared he would be assaulted.
Caitlin McLachlan said Whelan was ‘highly embarrassed and ashamed’. She said she was undergoing medical treatment at the time and became reliant on alcohol as a ‘coping mechanism’.
“Since that evening in February she has abstained from alcohol,” Ms McLachlin said.
She said Whelan was remorseful and had undertaken Islamic studies and undergone counselling. The court heard she had told the probation officer that she converted to Islam.

Sentencing, the judge Recorder Jennifer Cleeve said: “Your language and behaviour was vile. They were trying to protect you and were simply doing their job.
“Being drunk or upset does not provide an excuse or justification for your behaviour.”
Whelan, of Whitefield, was handed an 18 month community order, 10 days of rehabilitation activity requirements and was ordered to undertake the Women Problem Solving Court.
She was also fined £240.
