A policewoman has died after contracting a contagious disease when a thug spat in her face during an arrest.
Arina Koltsova, from Kiev, Ukraine, was arresting a suspect on New Year’s Day – unaware that he was suffering from tuberculosis (TB). While carrying out her duties she was spat on by the man.
Unbeknown to the 35-year-old officer, the suspect had tuberculosis and the policewoman continued working for many weeks before suddenly collapsing while on duty.

Ms Koltsova, who became an online sensation in her home country due to a series of glamorous social media photos, was later diagnosed with tuberculosis and was immediately sent for treatment.

‘She had received treatment. She underwent chemotherapy, she was fed food through an IV drip and she had lost a lot of weight.’

The chemotherapy, often used to treat acute cases of tuberculosis, weakened Ms Koltsova and caused her to become severely undernourished.  A recent selfie shows her gaunt face and the short hair that she had towards the end of her life.
