Couple of years ago, we had some neds break in to the close in Broad St. I asked them to leave and on the way out, one of the girls spat at me. She missed.

Later, the police perked up when I mentioned that as that contributed to the charge, and I believe contributed to previous assault charges and sentencing. It counted as attempted assault.
