A WOMAN has been fined for kicking a police officer in the groin as she tried to stop bailiffs repossessing her car.

Redbridge Magistrates ordered Hannah Anto-Agyei, 38, of Fencepiece Road in Hainault, to pay a fine of £770.

On April 27 last year a bailiff visited Anto-Agyei's home to repossess her car after she had failed to pay a number of fines.

She became abusive towards the bailiff and then sat in the vehicle to stop them from taking it.

Police were called and tried to get Anto-Agyei out of her car.

As the officers tried to restrain her she lashed out and kicked a male officer in the groin.

Anto-Agyei appeared at court last Thursday (April 7).
