A WOMAN has been found guilty of assault after shouting racial abuse at a taxi rank worker and punching him on Christmas Eve last year.
Nicole Kupaza, of Meadow Way in Dorney Reach, admitted to the assault at Taplow Railway Station but claimed that she was acting in self-defence.
The 22-year-old argued that the employee, Mohammed Malik, racially insulted her first - which he denied.

However, a jury at Reading Crown Court rejected her claim of self-defence and found her guilty of one count of racially aggravated assault.
She will now be sentenced at the same court on July 27.
