Woman gouges NSW supermarket worker's eyes
A woman has allegedly spat in a supermarket worker's face and gouged her eyes after being denied entry to a store on the NSW South Coast.
Police say the 35-year-old became verbally abusive after being asked by staff to observe social distancing measures at the supermarket at Vincentia, southeast of Nowra about 3pm on Wednesday.
When a store worker, aged 49, asked the woman to leave she allegedly spat in her face and a fight erupted.
The younger woman allegedly pulled the worker's hair, gouged her eyes and damaged her jewellery before leaving.
Police later arrested the 35-year-old at a Sanctuary Point home and charged her with common assault, assault occasioning bodily harm and damaging property.
She's due to appear in Nowra Local Court on June 15.
