    Woman who attacked cabbie and police spared jail

    A woman who attacked a taxi driver and six police officers has been spared a jail term.

    Bradford Crown Court heard how Ellie Burns, 20, of Roundwood Glen, Ravenscliffe, racially abused a taxi driver on 21 April last year before punching him in the face, causing bruising and a cut to his eye.

    She then bit and spat at officers who attended to arrest Burns and take her into custody.

    The court was also told she assaulted officers on a further two separate occasions in January.

    Burns was handed a 15-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to undertake nine months of drugs rehabilitation.

    She was also ordered to pay £450 compensation - £150 to the taxi driver and £50 to each police officer.
