Woman attacks Tesco manager with a MOP in a row over stolen grapefruit juice
Katie Robinson began attacking a store manager and security guard after being caught trying to steal
A WOMAN attacked a Tesco shop manager with a mop and punched a security guard in the head as they battled over a £2.34 bottle of grapefruit juice.
Katie Robinson, 22, was confronted by duty manager Pirasanthan Nadrajah after swiping a Naked Juice from a Tesco Express on Uxbridge Road, Hillingdon in West London.
After being taken to a side room she picked up a mop and repeatedly hit Nadrajah with it, Westminster Magistrates Court heard.
The store manager said: "She was shouting f*** you, you f***ing c***. She was really aggressive.
"She was screaming: 'You are trying to rape me, help, he is trying to f*** me."
When security guard Yusef Gulaid came to assist she punched him in the forehead, prosecutor Felicity Lineham said.
Gulaid blocked the door to the side room with the help of another member of staff while Nadrajah was stuck in the room with Robinson, who allegedly wouldn't stop claiming the manager "was trying to rape and f*** her".
Nadrajah said the woman only stopped her attack when he claimed there were CCTV cameras in the room.
After she put the mop down the manager began filming her on his mobile phone.

Robinson did not turn up at court and had already been found guilty of other offences including shoplifting and using racially aggressive language, the court heard.
District Judge Nicholas Easterman said: "I find the facts in this case proved. There will be a warrant out for her arrest and I will send this to Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court for sentencing this Friday, the 8th July to link up with her other convictions."
Robinson, from Hornsey, north London, was found guilty of theft from a shop for the total of £2.34 and two counts of assault by beating.
She will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court tomorrow for sentencing.
