Nursery worker, 22, attacked and racially abused Polish neighbours after they repeatedly wolf whistled her
The young woman was fed up of the pair cat-calling her for six months and lashed out
A NURSERY worker attacked and racially abused two men – because she was fed up of them constantly wolf-whistling her.
Gemma Griffiths punched one of her Polish neighbours in the head and slapped the other on his arm, a court heard.
Griffiths, 22, also shouted racist abuse at the men and called them: "you f***ing Polish t**ts".
Chester magistrates' court heard that Karol Kozlowski and Piotr Erwinski had made inappropriate sexual remarks and wolf-whistled her over six months.
Griffiths, from Boughton, Chester, admitted two counts of racially aggravated assault and one count of racially aggravated criminal damage.
Prosecutor Kate Marchuk told the court that on November 26, Griffiths and her boyfriend were returning from a night out to their former home in Finchett Drive when they became embroiled in an argument with two of their neighbours - Karol Kozlowski and Piotr Erwinski.
Ms Marchuk said that, as a result of the argument, Griffiths punched Kozlowski to the head and then tried to punch him again.
Her boyfriend intervened and dragged her away from the men and she then shouted "you f***ing Polish t**ts" at the men.

Mr Erwinski had begun to record the incident on his phone and captured the racist remark.
Griffiths was then released by her boyfriend and she slapped Mr Erwinski's hand and arm causing him to drop his phone, which smashed the screen. Neither of the men suffered any injury in the incident.
Defending, Steve Coupe told the court the assaults were the result of a "build up" over six months.
He said a group of Polish men lived in the house opposite Griffiths and would congregate outside the property.
They had made a number of inappropriate sexual remarks to Griffiths and "wolf whistled" at her.
After a night out drinking her feelings had "come to the fore", the court heard.
Mr Coupe said Griffiths worked as a nursery nurse and had moved to a new address.
Magistrates sentenced her to a 12-month community order and ordered her to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.
She was also ordered to pay £75 in compensation to Mr Erwinski and £50 to Mr Kozlowski as well as £85 prosecution costs and £85 victim surcharge.
