A woman has received a prison sentence for a racially aggravated public disorder incident in Huddersfield town centre last year.
Chelsea Wany, aged 26, of Station Lane, Berry Brow, was charged by police with using threatening and abusive language to cause harassment and fear.
The incident happened on 16 June last year, when the police were called to reports that a woman was being verbally abusive to a 21-year-old man in the town centre.
The incident was dealt with as a hate crime.
Wany was found guilty of the offence at Kirklees Magistrates Court and sentenced to 16 weeks in prison.
PC Steve Nicholls, of Kirklees District Police, said: “During this incident, Wany used vile and offensive language towards the victim, who was incredibly upset and distressed by the incident.
“We are pleased today with the sentence handed down to Wany and we hope this sentence will be reassuring to our communities in Kirklees that hate crime of any kind is taken extremely seriously by West Yorkshire Police and perpetrators will be dealt with robustly.”
