Naomi Campbell

British supermodel Naomi Campbell admitted assaulting two police officers as she was ejected from a plane at London's Heathrow airport in a furious row over lost luggage.

The 38-year-old subjected the captain of the British Airways flight and police to a barrage of foul-mouthed abuse, spitting and swearing and accusing them of victimisation because she was black, a west London court was told.

Campbell, who last year was handed community service and forced to undergo anger management therapy after admitting assaulting her maid in New York, pleaded guilty to six charges in relation to the incident on April 3 this year.

The assault charge carries a maximum six-month prison sentence and a fine of up to 5,000 pounds (6,300 euros, 9,900 dollars).

The 38-year-old pleaded guilty to four of the six charges she was facing – two counts of assaulting a police constable; one of using threatening, abusive words or behavior to cabin crew; and one of using insulting, abusive, threatening behavior or disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

The Crown Prosecution Service has decided not to pursue the other two charges.

"Ms. Campbell was aggressive, hostile and violent to people who were simply trying to do their jobs," C.P.S. director Nazir Afzal said in a statement. "Her behaviour fell far short of what is acceptable."
