A 62-YEAR-OLD woman has admitted assaulting six emergency workers including a female ambulance worker and a hospital porter.

Francesca Whiting, also known as Cindy, of Oak Drive, Rodborough pleaded guilty to six charges at Cheltenham Magistrates Court on Friday, July 28.

Four incidents happened in May last year while the other two happened in October.

The court heard that Whiting assaulted a senior NHS mental health professional on May 15 last year.

For this offence, a £100 fine with a £114 victim surcharge was imposed.

On the same day, Whiting assaulted another senior NHS mental health professional and next day he assaulted an NHS hospital porter and a female ambulance worker.

She also assaulted two female custody detention officers in Gloucester on October 28, 2022.

For each offence, the same community order with conditions was imposed which runs until July 27, 2024.

One of the conditions prohibits Whiting from contacting emergency services unless she is a victim of crime requiring urgent assistance, in a life or death situation or if directed by crisis teams, mental health professionals or medical professionals.

A 20-day rehabilitation requirement was also imposed.
