A man attacked two train station staff after walking across a live line and climbing onto a platform at Blackpool North.

Prosecutor Sophie Gillespie said Howarth was seen at the North station climbing over a fence, crossing a live line, and getting onto a platform on Thursday, January 30.

He threatened staff, saying he would hit a male worker in the face and called a woman worker a derogatory name, the court was told.He also shook a can of lager, spraying it in the

woman’s face, and called her a “cow” before spitting at his male victim.

When interviewed by police, Howarth admitted being under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Peter Manning, defending, said his client accepted his behaviour was unacceptable, although nobody was physically hurt.

Howarth was said to be ashamed of himself, and apologised to rail staff.

Zenia Moreano, 48, assaulting a police officer

A mum-of-four peed on a police officer trying to arrest her, the court was told.

Police were called to a fracas outside Moreano’s home, the court was told, with her daughter trying to separate a scrapping man and woman.

Officers called at Moreano’s home as part of their investigation, and Moreano lashed out, prosecutor Pam Smith said.During a struggle, the female officer felt a warm fluid soaking into her

trousers, and realised she had been urinated on.

Ms Smith said: “The officer felt physically sick, dirty, humiliated, and degraded.”

Moreano was arrested and admitted during an interview she had “lost it” because she thought her son was going to be arrested.
