H. : “The drunken man starts to insult me yelling ‘sale pute’ and more and spits all over me, phlegm drips off my arm.”

A man rides with his motorcycle into our parked vehicle. He wants to drive away, so me and my boyfriend stop him. He behaves in a strange way, looks drunk. We call the police. My boyfriend crosses the street to ask a witness if he wants to testify if needed. The drunken man starts to insult me yelling ‘sale pute’ and more and spits all over me, phlegm drips off my arm. I ignore him and do as if I did not notice and wait for my boyfriend to come back. But I am shaking and think that he might hit me. I stayed calm. My boyfriend comes and the guy spits all over him as well. It took the police half an hour to come, so we called two friends who waited with us. The guy was known by the police.
