Neil Cleal
A man who spat in the face of a transgender woman before punching her several times in the head in an “abhorrent” attack has been jailed.
Neil Cleal approached the victim, in her 50s, in Ludlow Road, Southampton, where he began shouting abuse at her, specifically about her gender identity.
A Hampshire police spokesman said: “Cleal then proceeded to kick down her front gate and walk up to the woman and spit in her face before punching her several times to the head, causing her to fall backwards, leaving her in significant pain.”
Cleal, 25, of Victoria Road, Southampton, pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and criminal damage after the attack on July 21 last year.
