An allegedly drunk Dunedin man who acted "inappropriately" to female supermarket checkout workers went on to allegedly assault a stranger and police officers.
The 47-year-old man was in Woolworths Dunedin Central in Cumberland St at 6.30pm on Thursday when he began to act inappropriately towards female staff, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said.
The women left the store, but the man followed them into the carpark, continuing his behaviour.
When a member of the public tried to intervene, the man allegedly assaulted him.
Police arrived and arrested the man and, while in the Central Dunedin cell blocks, he spat at two officers.
The man was charged with assault, resisting police, disorderly behaviour like to cause violence, and two counts of assaulting police. — Allied Media
